The result of Sancal's first collaboration with Se- bastian 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 small two seater sofa combines perfectly with the armchair, emulating its comfort perfectly.

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 cha- racteristic 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.
