Ermes base cover

Design

The Talenti Ermes base cover is designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba to bring a clean finish to a parasol setup. Proportions are purposeful: approximately 23.6 x 3.5 inches, slim enough to sit quietly under the table line while still reading as substantial. It belongs to the Parasol collection in the Accessories catalog, so the language is consistent across pieces. Finishes are calm and contemporary—white, dove, or graphite—each one understated enough to work with a range of outdoor palettes.

Nothing shouts here. The form is simple, the gesture clear, the effect neat. It turns the functional base into part of the scene rather than something to hide.

Materials & Build

The construction is concrete, chosen for its weight and composure outdoors. At about 110.2 lb, it holds its place and reinforces the parasol’s stance without extra fuss. The mass reads as deliberate, not bulky, which suits terraces and dining areas where stability matters but visual noise does not.

The Ermes base cover comes packaged as a single piece. No complicated combination of parts, no loose ends. Finish options—white, dove, or graphite—keep the material honest and the look consistent.

Comfort

Comfort, in this case, is about living well with the piece every day. The low profile—roughly 3.5 inches high—keeps foot traffic clear and sightlines open around seating. It sits where it should and doesn’t compete with furniture or landscape.

There’s also the comfort of confidence. The weight does its job quietly, so gatherings feel relaxed, not precarious.

Placement & Lifestyle

Made for outdoor settings that move from morning coffee to late dinners, the Ermes base cover works across patios, garden dining, poolside lounges, and small urban balconies. It complements parasols from the Parasol collection, bringing a cohesive look to mixed arrangements. Use white for a crisp, bright note by the pool, dove for a soft neutral on stone or timber, graphite for a grounded tone on contemporary pavers.

Because the silhouette is clean, it plays well with both slim dining bases and more generous lounge layouts. The effect is orderly and composed, not staged.

Longevity

Concrete gives lasting stability and a solid feel season after season. Surfaces keep their character with regular care, and the color options stay composed under everyday use. For added protection when the area is not in use, a cover is available.

The Ermes base cover by Talenti is a straightforward choice: durable material, measured proportions, and a finish that respects the setting. It does one job and does it well, leaving the rest of the space to shine.
