COMFORTABLE AND ELEGANT SEATING, IMPORTANT SEWING AND A WORK AROUND MATERIALS THAT PLAYS WITH TWO-DIMENSIONALITY
Jun in Japanese means‘ pure and sincere’ and never could a name be more fitting for a collection that aims to strike straight at the heart. The eponymous creation designed by fresh Compasso d’ Oro winner Marco Acerbis for Talenti, a multiaward-winning high-end outdoor brand, bets on an immediate and authentic design, without rhetorical artifices or redundancies. And it is precisely from these principles that the inspiration for a family of furnishings with a clear and precious design was born. An intrinsic value whose beauty is clearly expressed through the choice of displaying wood in an elegant and balanced way, enhancing the attention to detail.
The mood‘ The main characteristics of Jun, the new collection designed by me for Talenti,’ explains Acerbis,’ are the balance due to the interplay between the voluminousness of the cushions and the very clean lines of the structure. A structure that merges with the fabrics of the backrest and armrest upholstery almost as if they were one, giving a sense of semi-dimensionality.’ The perception and character of this collection is therefore based not only on an intense‘ sense of nature’, but also on this duality between minimalism and objects of volume that trigger an aesthetic big bang combining great comfort and visual presence.
