Talo Seating Collection by Studio Sebastian Herkner for Sancal

The result of Sancal’s first collaboration with Sebastian Herkner, Talo takes a new approach to the traditional small armchair – a must-have for any hotel. Discreet and distinctive, the design is a departure from all others, yet retaining a familiar form. Talo is extraordinarily comfortable, making it the ideal piece for a range of settings.

The roots of the mangrove tree have provided the starting point for this adaptable piece.

No detail has been left to chance: from the extra thick piping that runs across the top of the piece to the special two-part cushion. However, the most characteristic element of Talo is in its feet that thrust up under the fabric, like the roots of a mangrove tree just visible above ground level as they form the trunk.
