Inspired by raw rocky landscapes, Talo balances geometric clarity with the organic softness of weathered stone. Its sculptural presence anchors large spaces, both for in-and outdoors. The collection extends from dining tables in various sizes to a family of auxiliary pieces for versatile layouts.

SOLID LIKE A ROCK

Inspired by raw rocky landscapes, the Talo tables move between the pure lines of geometric form and the organic softness of stones shaped by time, wind, and water. They are, at their core, a shape study — a sustained inquiry into what happens at the meeting point of technical precision and geological transformation.

Talo is a sculptural presence designed to anchor large spaces with hieratic presence. The collection extends from dining tables in different sizes and configurations to a range of auxiliary pieces, each sharing the same formal logic: substantial in volume, precise in its edges.

DELIBERATE AND ERODED

The inspiration traces back to a studio hike in Mallorca, where we discovered an ancient sandstone quarry — abandoned, gradually reclaimed by sea air and rain. Over time, water had transformed it into a pool-like landscape. The once sharply cut stone blocks had been softened by wind and salt, their edges blurred, their surfaces worn smooth. It was a place suspended between the man-made and the natural, and it stayed with us long after we left.

What lingered was the tension: geometry defined by human extraction, then patiently reshaped by time. Planes eroded, volumes rounded, yet the original constructive order remained legible beneath the surface. Years later, this memory became the foundation for Talo — tables that seek balance between clarity and erosion, structure and softness. Forms that feel intentional yet weathered, as though shaped equally by design and by landscape.

BOTH OUTDOOR AND INDOOR

The outdoor version of Talo is built entirely from highly resistant, sustainable materials selected for their ability to withstand the elements without compromising on character. The base is cast in coloured UHPC — ultra-high performance concrete — a material prized for its exceptional strength and refined finish. The tops are available in Dekton® and FENIX NTM®, both surfaces known for their durability, UV resistance and low maintenance — allowing the tables to age with the same quiet dignity as the stone landscapes that inspired them.

Talo has also been reinterpreted for interior spaces, where the same commitment to solidity and craftsmanship takes on warmer material expressions. Alongside the concrete version, the indoor range is available in solid European oak, lacquered MDF, and European oak veneer — each option maintaining the collection's essential character while adapting to the different demands of a domestic interior. Whether placed on a terrace or at the centre of a dining room, Talo carries the same idea: that the most enduring forms are those that look as if they were always meant to be there.
