The collaboration between the well-known outdoor furniture brand and the iconic designer who launched, just last season, the very stylish Tressé collection, an authentic journey that leads from the catwalks directly to life in the open air.
THE LINK BETWEEN OUTDOOR DESIGN AND FASHION
Fashion is confirmed as an exploratory ground for the furniture brands, with the top Italian outdoor brand Talenti expanding the Tressé collection, protagonist of the 2024 catalogue, the latest creation of the iconic design Carlo Colombo, begins the new season in the best way, looking more and more to the colors and textures that dominate the catwalks, immersing itself fully in the nineties but reinterpreting them in a modern and sophisticated way.
THE IDEA
Signed by Carlo Colombo, an icon that certainly does not need presentations and has always been used to surprise, Tressé looks at fashion, the glamour of the shows but traveling through time to dive into a world that has made history. As its name reminds us(“ intrecciato” in Italian), this collection is directly inspired by the nineties, the proposals of a world reference like Bottega Veneta that has built a new luxury concept on the interweaving. A concept that the designer from Como recalls, disassembles and reconstructs giving the collection its own character, identifying and in line with the style of the brand.
DESCRIPTION
Characterized by a tubular aluminium structure with minimal design, Tressé is an elegant and comfortable outdoor product family that allows multiple compositions to meet the most different space needs. Completely customizable, it bets on the ecoleather interlacings to give life to a complete and versatile proposal. The cozy sofa combines perfectly with the original coffee tables and a glamorous and sophisticated dining area. Stylistically unmistakable, it accords to the Talenti style, expanding its ideal influence pool to undo preconceptions and stereotypes. Eco-leather is rediscovered as an identifying element in the sun bed and pouf where the interlacing appears even more seductive and versatile.
THE DESIGNER’ S POINT OF VIEW
The collaboration with Talenti was born almost by chance, during the Salone del Mobile we met in their stand and we started to discuss a possible collaboration. After this appointment I had the idea for the Tressé collection, we met and started working on the project. And it was very interesting because it developed not only the part related to the sofa and the armchair but also a whole series of accessories such as tables, containers and even the sunbed designed for outdoor spaces with swimming pool. The idea was born from an aluminium tubular structure with doublering die-cast joints in which the second ring is coated with a weave that can be in different colors. The characteristic is therefore also the possibility of playing the chromatic intervention both from the point of view of the construction of the structure- since the tubular can be of different colors- the weave can be of different color and so also the padded part. The double ring therefore has both a structural and decorative meaning, and the product is thus innovative from both a technological and formal point of view.
