Cliff Dèco Braiding Sofa

Design

Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, the Cliff Dèco Braiding Sofa sets a calm, architectural tone. A clean aluminum outline frames a hand-braided nautical rope backrest, giving the piece its signature character. The weave reads modern and tactile, with a rhythm that feels considered rather than fussy.

The contrast is deliberate: cool, industrial metal meeting natural rope, then grounded by cushions that echo the rope’s hue. It’s a quiet play of texture and color that looks effortless. Not loud, but immediately present. The proportions are generous without feeling heavy, so the form sits comfortably in contemporary rooms.

Materials & Build

The structure relies on a sturdy aluminum frame for stability and long-term reliability. It keeps lines crisp and resists everyday wear. Around it, the handmade rope is tensioned with care, creating a supportive backrest with consistent spacing and a refined hand. Cushions are finished in a coordinating fabric, chosen for a clean look and easy care. Together, these materials deliver a modern feel that is built to last and stays low maintenance over time.

Comfort

This sofa is made for unwinding and for conversation. The seat offers ample space, while the braided back provides a supportive, breathable cradle. Cushions land soft but stay poised, so posture remains comfortable through a long read or an unhurried chat. And because the details are pared back, the body sits at ease—no sharp edges, no overstuffed bulk, just a composed, inviting place to settle in.

Placement & Lifestyle

Near a coffee table, it anchors a living room. At the foot of a bed, it becomes a calm perch. In a den or study, it turns a corner into a reading nook. The look bridges industrial and natural notes, so it pairs as well with streamlined pieces as it does with warmer textures. Use one to define a relaxed zone, or position two to frame a more social setting. Either way, it adds presence without cluttering the view.

And it adapts. For casual evenings or a quick meeting at home, the sofa keeps the setting composed and welcoming. The design feels considered, not staged, which makes daily living simpler and better looking.

Longevity

Aluminum and braided rope stand up well to routine use and keep their shape with minimal fuss. A light touch of care keeps the weave neat and the cushions fresh. Crafted with attention to detail by Talenti, the Cliff Dèco Braiding Sofa is made to hold its lines, its comfort, and its understated appeal year after year.
