About the collection
Cliff is the Palomba Serafini Associati modular sofa programme that opened Talenti's contemporary outdoor catalog in 2018 and has stayed in production as the brand's lead lounge expression. The programme is engineered around a textile-wrapped frame on a wood and cord substructure, with deep-seat geometry and a low back. The family extends across a sectional fabric sofa, a fabric lounge armchair, a low square coffee table and matching side tables. Cushions are outdoor-rated with removable covers, the construction is fully modular and can be specified in linear, corner or U-shaped layouts.
Designer
Milan-based architecture and industrial design partnership founded 1994 by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba. The studio has led Talenti's contemporary outdoor catalog since 2018, opening the relationship with the Cliff modular programme and extending it through the Salinas Ibiza-inspired family in 2022. Other commissions include Poltrona Frau, Driade, Exteta, Tribù, Kartell and Kos.
The Cliff lounge sits within Talenti's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Talenti has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Cliff is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Talenti's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Talenti's in-house design team.
Talenti's lounge pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Cliff carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Talenti catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.
Pricing for Cliff at US trade typically falls between on quote at US trade volumes, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery, or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified in US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant outdoor dining) and in premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.
Standard Cliff configurations ship 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.
Yes. Talenti runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Cliff is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Talenti non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Talenti collections, including Cliff, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.
Premium European outdoor pieces share a common care pattern: quarterly rinse with clean water and mild soap, twice-yearly inspection of cushions and fittings, and off-season storage of soft goods in freeze-thaw climates. Structural elements (aluminum, FSC teak, steel) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; fabrics and cushions 2-3 years against UV and stitching. US service life on European premium outdoor is typically 15-25 years on structural elements and 5-10 years on cushions, with COM refresh extending the cycle. Documentation and warranty registration are supplied with the invoice at the trade tier.
