Talo, a reimagining of the classic hospitality armchair. Understated yet with a distinctive and strikingly contemporary touch, Talo offers more than just exceptional comfort, making it suitable for all types of settings. The two-seater sofa complements the armchair without sacrificing an ounce of comfort.

Every detail matters, from the wide, vibrant fabric that encircles the top edge of the piece to the unique two-tiered cushion. Talo’s most distinctive feature is its taut legs (or roots) that climb the structure and peek out from beneath the fabric.

Sebastian Herkner is one of the breakout designers of 2012. He began his career in fashion while still a student, working for Stella McCartney, where he learned to appreciate the textures and structures of fabrics. In 2006, he founded his own product design studio and began working for publishers around the world, including Classicon, De Vorm, Moroso, and Nanoo. He combines his work as a designer with teaching at the Faculty of Art and Design in Offenbach. Talo is the result of his first and highly successful collaboration with Sancal.
