Talento is a tall storage cabinet designed for keeping objects. The structure is made of wood or lacquered wood, and the two doors carry a liquid metal finish with the Unlimited texture. The cabinet measures 1000 millimetres in width, 520 millimetres in depth and 2000 millimetres in height. Rounded edges and a recessed handle define the profile. The composition balances full and empty areas through an alternation of depths and proportions. The textured surface is made with a dedicated silicone mould combined with the liquid metal finish.
