New – Lola Darling

Poltrona Frau Lola Darling

Poltrona Frau - Lola Darling

The lines of the Lola Darling bed are generous and soft. The prominent headboard, sculpted with great technical craftsmanship, gently opens at the sides. This is Roberto Lazzeroni’s modern interpretation of the iconic Poltrona Frau capitonné. He lightens it without sacrificing any of its three-dimensionality. Virtuoso leather workmanship replaces the traditional buttons with a pattern of thin, delicately convex stitched diamonds. Every detail exudes elegance. A tone-on-tone Pelle Frau® leather trim embellishes the internal and external edges of the headboard and the bed frame.

The headboard is made of solid beech wood and birch plywood. The two side parts are shaped and made of moulded polyurethane foam. The padding is in polyurethane foam and polyester wadding. Lola Darling is entirely upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather, which can be combined with the fabrics of the Poltrona Frau collection at the back of the headboard. Cylindrical aluminium feet, painted black or in Pelle Frau® leather that matches the bed upholstery.

Isadora

Poltrona Frau Isadora

The Isadora chair is inspired by the grace of Isadora Duncan, a pioneer of contemporary dance. Its original concept is shaped by the seamless combination of wood and saddle leather.The solid wood structure traces out a sinuous and agile design thanks to the skilled work on its profiles. The saddle leather upholstery totally envelops it and it almost appears to fly, completely self-supported. Skilful tailored stitching and cuts give it the appearance of a light dress. It exudes both airiness and solidity at the same time thanks to the expert craftsmanship, which pares the materials down to the bare essentials and brings out their pure beauty.

The Isadora project revisits the forms of the past as part of a highly modern vision.The structure is made from solid ash in a Moka or Wengé stain. The upholstery is in Cuoio Saddle Extra leather, finished with protective dye and wax and accentuated by contrast or tone-on-tone stitching.

A versatile and generous accessory, ideal for housing the TV and stereo in the living room, which revisits the aesthetics of the collection.

With its large base, the cabinet is made up of three open compartments at the top and three spacious drawers at the bottom. The delicate converging lines create a sense of openness and lightness, accentuated by the easel base in moka-coloured ash with triangular cross-section.

The combination of materials and finishes is sophisticated, with elegant light and dark effects. The drawers, embellished with a front entirely upholstered in Cuoio Saddle or Cuoio Saddle Extra leather and contrast or tone-on-tone stitching, open up to reveal the luminosity of the extra light natural maple wood veneer.

Come Together

Poltrona Frau Come together

In the social and post-social media era, the Come Together modular sofa system is a real-life meeting point for sharing experiences and conversation. It is an invitation to rediscover the dimension of physical and tangible proximity and the exchange of ideas and emotions in person, looking one another in the eye. Each element has been designed to bring people together. Ludovica and Roberto Palomba have designed an ultra-modern sofa system based on a deliberately limited number of elements designed to offer infinite combinations.

Pelle Frau® leather or fabric upholstery. To emphasise the feeling of solidity, the lower edge of the sofa can be enhanced with a band of Cuoio Saddle or Cuoio Saddle Extra leather, embellished with buckles that evoke exquisite leather belts and accessories. The version without the leather band brings out the simplicity of the design. The architectural structure of Come Together features blade-shaped or cylindrical feet, while the armrests are embellished with subtle stitching that creates a subtle graphic interplay.

The feet are cylindrical in black anodised aluminium or blade-shaped in brushed steel with a burnished or galvanised Ruthenium finish.
The accessories of the Come Together collection are versatile and functional, with elements designed to connect the seats and create true islands of relaxation: the perfect space to read, eat, relax, study, work or have a coffee or aperitif with friends. The end unit features two wide shelves and is the perfect place to rest a book or position a table lamp.

The equipped unit that unites the seats features a hidden storage compartment and is ideal for keeping objects close to hand yet out of sight.
The storage compartment of the rear backrest, which features a push-pull central drawer, offers plenty of storage space and can even be used to hide the cables of a lamp placed on the shelf.

The craftsmanship and exquisite upholstery of the accessories are in perfect harmony with the seat elements. The top surface and shelves in brushed and etched stainless steel with a pewter effect finish offer a visual depth and tactile softness reminiscent of leather and fabric.

Clayton

Poltrona Frau Clayton

Jean-Marie Massaud interprets the Clayton sofa as a sophisticated haute couture creation.
Sumptuous yet radically modern, architectural and enveloping just like an haute couture dress.
Luxurious stitching, worthy of the finest tailors, runs right along the outside edge of the Pelle Frau® leather-upholstered backrest and armrests to create a sophisticated 3D effect.

The seat cushions are embellished with delicate x-shaped stitches applied by hand with contrasting thread – a subtle reference to the distinctive hallmark of Jean-Marie Massaud’s furniture for Poltrona Frau. A highly decorative web of hand-braided saddle leather straps supports and secures the seat springs. The architecture of the sofa is clear and light. The seat rises from the floor on steel feet with Ruthenium finish. The version of the Clayton that combines leather with fabric or velvet for the cushion covers guarantees a particularly rich sensory experience.

The backrest and armrest panels, in steel with light polyurethane foam padding, are connected by exposed metal hinges in a Ruthenium finish. Goose down is used for the soft padding of the armrest and backrest cushions. Clayton is available in a version entirely upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather or in combination with the wide range of Poltrona Frau fabrics.

Cestlavie

Poltrona Frau Cestlavie

Gam Fratesi took inspiration from the traditional sewing basket when designing the modern and refined Cestlavie accessories. The material sensations of leather and the lightness of the metal architecture meet in a striking and elegant visual synthesis. The meticulous craftsmanship pays tribute to Poltrona Frau’s time-honoured leather culture and artisanship. Saddle Extra Leather straps, each expertly and individually hand woven, give shape to the cover. Supported by a tubular aluminium structure, the storage unit appears to be suspended on thin, almost graphic, steel supports. The depth of the leather and the sharpness of the metal create interesting movements of light.

Cestlavie is a storage “basket”, but also a small table. The central part of the top, covered in Pelle Frau® leather, can be opened to access the inside while, at the same time, providing a handy support surface. Each detail is precious. The edges of the woven leather bands are also dyed tone-on-tone using techniques typically associated with fine small leather goods. The inside surface of the Saddle leather is also finished with a protective transparent wax treatment. Galvanic treatment for the steel structure with gunmetal or blasted and burnished finish.

Arabesque

Poltrona Frau Arabesque

Kensaku Oshiro has designed a small armchair of pure beauty. Poltrona Frau Arabesque’s sinuous lines display the same natural tension as a dancer’s body. A fluid balance and a supple grace that derive from complex processes.

Materials and construction details are calibrated for maximum ergonomic performance.

The Japanese designer, Kensaku Oshiro, has designed three pieces with great versatility yet with a strong identity. For this collection,the designer has drawn inspiration from traditional Poltrona Frau production processes and decorations, combining them with tailoring ideas from the fashion world. Classic stitching and soft folds enhance the sinuous minimalism of the design.

The voluptuous curves of the stool , are inspired by the female body shape , as if it were a dress, with slender belt highlighting her “waist”. The leather upholstery comes with the same-colour of the leather whilst he fabric upholstery comes always with leather. The frame is in birch plywood and poplar with uprights in solid beech. The base is in multilayer poplar with bottom in black lacquered non-scratch MDF. Padded with polyurethane foam and polyester wadding. Upholstery available in Pelle Frau® or in Poltrona Frau textiles.

The Leplì collection is now enriched by a new, elegant container pouf. With a pleasantly slender and elongated shape, this element is a handy seat and also perfect for the bedroom. A practical hidden mechanical system facilitates opening with one simple action, letting you access the spacious inner compartment.

I Tappeti – Chado

I Tappeti – Chado

The I Tappeti – Chado line tells of processing techniques that have always belonged to the culture of the rug. Delicate bamboo silk threads and thick linen thread worked following the ancient knotting procedure create rugs of a three-dimensional value. Indeed, in nomadic civilisations, rugs defined living spaces and needed a certain thickness to isolate from the ground, like a sort of textile insulation.

In the Chado rugs, the minuscule knots are then cut one by one following a working called cut. This gives a velvety, constantly changing surface effect where the shininess of the silk offsets the opacity of the linen, which also helps add fullness to the texture. Designcorporate intertwines the textured charm of the knotting with the visual theme evoked by the name “Chado”, tea ceremony in Japanese.

The delicate reticular geometry that runs down the rugs is inspired by the places used for this ritual. Grated windows and wood and paper screens through which a feeble light filters veiling everything in a suspended, evocative atmosphere. The colours of the tea plants and the metals that rust over time inspire meditative colour nuances.The tone-on-tone bamboo silk edging is sewn entirely by hand to finish off the four sides of the rug, embellishing it.

Composition of the usable surface area: 40% linen and 60% bamboo silk.Every rug is knotted by hand on wood frames (155,000 knots/sq. m). The thickness of the rug is 7 mm; weight 3.5 kg/sqm.Dimensions 200x300cm and 250×350 cm. Made-to-measure sizes also available on request. Colours Pearl Grey, Earl Grey, Antique Yellow, Copper, and Soft Blue.Chado rugs are made in India. The hand-stitched leather label has the Poltrona Frau brand stamped on it.
