Talenti
Italian outdoor furniture from Umbria: designer-led collections in aluminium, teak and woven fibre, read for the US buyer.
A family-rooted outdoor house from central Italy.
Talenti was founded in 2004 by Fabrizio Cameli in Amelia, in the Province of Terni, Umbria. It grew from a family craft tradition that began with Cameli Marmi in 1945. The brand made its trade debut in 2009 at the Salone del Mobile and has since built a catalogue shaped by international designers, distributed in more than 65 countries.
Its collections are shaped by designers including Marco Acerbis, Karim Rashid, Ramón Esteve, Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba, Carlo Colombo and Christophe Pillet. In 2024 the brand received the Compasso d’Oro, Italy's most prestigious design award. For US buyers, collections reach the market through authorised dealers, with lead times that vary by line and finish.

Itaca
Designed by Carlo ColomboItaca is Talenti's modular lounge collection, designed by Carlo Colombo. Taking its name from the island of Ulysses, the collection is built around independently configurable modules that combine and separate like an archipelago, adapting to large and small outdoor spaces alike.
Frames are available in Accoya, natural teak and rosewood versions, with surface options including white Carrara marble and titanium travertine. Cushions are finished in finely woven outdoor fabrics in a broad colour range, with the full collection extending to armchairs, daybeds, tables and dining chairs.
What the pieces are made of.
Across its outdoor work Talenti uses powder-coated aluminium, FSC-certified Accoya and teak, composite concrete, lava stone and solution-dyed acrylic and recycled-PET outdoor fabrics. Material choices are tied to named collections rather than applied as a blanket finish.
