The factory
Talenti of Amelia
A marble business that turned into an outdoor furniture house, and what its history changes about the furniture you get.
Ask about a collectionIt started in stone
Cameli Marmi has been cutting marble since 1945. Fabrizio Cameli joined the family business in 1983 and founded Talenti in 2004, and the first product was an inlaid marble table for outside.
That is why the catalog reads the way it does. Outdoor furniture in 2004 was mostly a technical category, sold on weather resistance. Talenti arrived from the stone trade, where a surface is judged the way a floor is judged, and brought that standard outside.
Where it is made
Amelia, in Umbria. In 2018 Talenti bought an 80,000 square metre site, a former Federici pasta factory, and turned it into offices, a logistics hub, an assembly and inspection department and a 2,000 square metre showroom. The architect was Filippo Cagnotto of Studio ProgettoReb.
Nothing is built for stock. A collection is assembled after the order, which is why a lead time comes with your quote rather than off a shelf, and why a finish that is not on the standard card can still be asked about.
What it has won
The Compasso d'Oro in 2024, the oldest and most serious Italian design award. The same year Talenti opened a 500 square metre flagship on Via Manzoni in Milan. In 2025 it added Talenti Home for indoor furniture and a 25,000 square metre production hub for it.
We mention the awards because they are the one thing that distinguishes this factory from twenty others making aluminum loungers, and because a jury looked at the work before you did.
Who we are
Not the factory. We are an independent dealer, based in Los Angeles, quoting Talenti for American addresses. What we add is the part the factory does not do: working out what fits your terrace, handling the import and the certification paperwork, and giving you one number.
A search for Talenti furniture Italy lands on the factory site in Amelia, which is the right place for the catalog and the wrong place for an American price. Among Italian outdoor furniture brands the difference matters more than usual: everything is built to order, so the number depends on the configuration, the freight and the customs work rather than on a list.
Prices are not published here because they cannot be. A modular sofa is a list of modules, the freight depends on the address and the duty depends on the shipment. The quote is where those become one figure.

Built to order
Nothing waits on a shelf
A collection is assembled after the order is placed, which is what makes a non standard finish a conversation rather than a refusal.
