Grantorino

Grantorino

Jean-Marie Massaud takes inspiration from the world of saddlery and design GranTorino. A huge amount of freedom in how you put it all together. A modular sofa with an exquisite, original version that combines Saddle Extra Leather with Pelle Frau® leather or fabric. Hand-cut, hand-shaped leather closely moulds the lines and structure of the seat. The high and slim armrest also presents intricate, careful workmanship. The small but spacious trunk-container also acts as an armrest and it’s out fitted with an elegant, natural oak tray. The cushions have beautiful horizontal stitching in the centre, which gives the sofa a sense of visual lightness.
Comfortable seats, compact, well-cut shapes that reduce the overall dimensions to a minimum, and subtle T-shaped feet that are hidden from view and raise the frame off the ground.

The Grantorino frame is in tubular metal with interwoven elastic straps. The backrests and armrests are made of birch and poplar plywood. The padding is made of pressed felt and polyurethane foam in varied densities. The backrest cushions are padded with goose down and have separate horizontal chambers for varied, ergonomic comfort. The feet are aluminium with titanium-coloured varnish. Download hier het product sheet van de Grantorino

Don’do

Don’do

A true modern classic. A new example of traditional craftsmanship applied to modern design. The shell is made from curved multi-ply beech wood, while the feet are made from fine steam-curved solid oak with an aged walnut finish. The perfect balance of lines, curves and thicknesses is thanks to the skilful manual techniques which feature the use of the Pelle Frau®. The headrest cushion is height-adjustable.

Chester

Chester

Chester evokes the classical armchair model of King Edward’s times, which Renzo Frau reproduced for Poltrona Frau’s first catalogue in 1912, drawing inspiration from the sofas and armchairs that populated the English clubs and country houses of the time. It is distinguished by the pleats decorating the arms and the rich capitonné treated upholstery, produced entirely by hand, that reflects the masterly techniques of the craftsmen responsible for its upholstery. Springing is by means of biconic steel springs, applied manually onto a bearing structure of seasoned Beech wood. The padding of the seat uses rubberised horsehair, while the back and arms are filled with hand-fashioned vegetal horsehair. The seat cushion is stuffed with goosedown.

Bolero

Bolero

Roberto Lazzeroni has designed the Bolero table. Wenge-stained ash, Canaletto walnut, Calacatta Oro marble, brilliant and semi-brilliant. A minimalist and sleek addition to the living room available in many size and geometric shapez. The frame supporting the table is in wengé-stained solid ash or in solid Canaletto walnut with a triangular section profile. The table top surface is in rotary-cut wengé-stained ash veneer or Canaletto walnut veneer, with a characteristic cross-grain inlay and a wengé-stained solid ash or Canaletto walnut trim around the edge.

The 220×110 cm and 250×100 cm tables and the 150 cm diameter round version are also available with the top in Calacatta gold marble, with bevelled edge and semi-polished or polished polyester finish. With the semi-polished finish, the surface of the marble top is treated with a protective water-repellent solution that gives it a more natural look. In the version with polished finish, meanwhile, a transparent polyester paint is applied that makes the surface of the top more resistant, preventing it from absorbing liquids. In the marble versions, the legs of the table are in ash in a wengé stain or Canaletto walnut.

The 180 cm diameter round version is also available complete with a Lazy Susan turntable, resting on rather than fixed to the table top, comprising two round flat trays with different diameters. The upper one has a diameter of 115cm and is in multiply birch edged with wengé-stained solid ash or solid Canaletto walnut in the same way as the table top, offset with veneer underneath. The smaller, lower tray is in MDF finished with black scratch-proof paint and fitted with protective felt pads. An aluminium turntable mechanism using steel ball bearings is housed between the two trays.

Archibald Gran Comfort

Archibald Gran Comfort

Jean-Marie Massaud has designed the Archibald Gran Comfort in a completely new interpretation of the Archibald project, of which it offers a refined and informal version.

The central element is the large and soft seat cushion. The luxurious and soft leather bag with abundant goose-down padding sits in contrast with the architectural style of the steel shelf which supports it. The suspension of the beech seat is achieved with elastic straps which continue along the outside edge of the steel-framed backrest for a further element of comfort.The steel frame and feet are characterised by the Ruthenium finish. Extremely thin and light, they almost seem to be sketched in pencil.
The quilted goose-down baffle padding of the seat and backrest enhances the softness of the armchair. The removable upholstery is available exclusively in the new Pelle Frau® Safari leather. The upholstery’s outer profiles are embellished by the raw cut of the leather, hand-painted and finished with contrasting stitching.

The Archibald Gran Comfort finds its natural complement in this soft new pouf. As generous and informal as the armchair, it enhances its welcoming and comfortable nature. The armchair and pouf employ the same materials and processes.

Archibald

Archibald

Archibald invites you in to mediate and relax. The icon chair created by Jean-Marie Massaud today goes royal: Archibald King is here. Important, majestic, fit for royalty. A distinguishing large headrest takes up on the elegant folds of the backrest featured throughout the collection. Thus the pleasantly undulating leather is embellished along the edges and external surfaces of the upholstery with contrast stitching, giving it a refined, elegant appeal.
The frame of the backrest and seat is in steel with moulded polyurethane foam padding, and shaped foam with polyester wadding in the zones where more comfort is needed. Springing is obtained from elastic belts and the base is made up of four feet in cast aluminium with a tubular steel frame in a gunmetal grey finish. The upholstery is in Pelle Frau® leather.

Albero

Conceived in the late 1950s as a floor-to-ceiling free-standing bookcase, “Albero” was designed for use in interior settings rather than for serial production.
The “Albero” is formally associated with the Neoliberty period and, in terms of product type, to the floor-to-ceiling bookcase systems that were popular throughout the 50s and 60s. Designed by Frattini, the structure stands out both for its complex cabinet work and for its sculpted nature, acting as the centrepiece of a room.

Supporting frame in solid Canaletto walnut veneer with special rack and pinion joint and shelves in MDF with Canaletto veneer. Iron caps, on the ceiling and ground, finished with textured, wrinkled-effect black paint. A metal “cup” is attached to the ceiling inside which is inserted a steel anchor bolt with adjustable metal ferrules. On the ground it is held in place by an anti-slip rubber foot. The system has a 360° swivel mechanism. Any number of shelves from 8 to 12 can be fitted thanks to the holes in the uprights.

After the huge success of the re-release of the freestanding Albero bookcase, a little-known yet very fascinating and masterful piece created by Gianfranco Frattini in the late 1950s, Poltrona Frau is launching the Albero Limited Edition in olive wood.Each bookcase features the designer’s signature, the Poltrona Frau logo, the caption “Limited Edition” and laser-engraved numbering from 01|55 to 55|55 on the lower part of the frame.

Albero has been mentioned in “The Top 10 Moments at Milan Design Week” of The New Tork Times.

Let It Be

Let It Be

The natural evolution of the sofa, Let it be’s philosophy is implicit in its name. A famous song by the Beatles, it is evocative of a period of newfound freedom from all types of formalism and convention. The  project also embraces and reinterprets the time-honoured Italian concept of the Roman triclinium, where people lay down, ate, talked and lazed about.

A modular system open to the most comfortable of configurations, Let it be is an invitation to relax. It can be completed according to taste with shelves and storage units that expand its functions. It is a welcoming refuge where you can finally leave your worries behind you and rediscover your own time and rhythms. An authentic island of wellbeing equipped with everything you need. It is also informal and inviting in terms of its light aesthetic. The structure and the soft down cushions appear to be suspended on saddle leather straps. The foot, unexpectedly set back from the corner, enhances the sensation that the seats are floating in space.

The purity of the design melds with the precious details. The visible leather and saddle leather stitching bring to mind the processing of fine saddles and harnesses.
The structure and cushions are upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather from the Color System, Nest and Soul leather, also in combination with fabric. Alternatively, Cuoio Saddle / Saddle Extra leather can be combined with Pelle Frau® leather or fabric. The shelves and armrest or backrest surfaces are upholstered in Cuoio Saddle or Cuoio Saddle Extra leather.

The frame is in die-cast aluminium with joints in black painted steel. The backrest and armrest structure, padded with polyurethane foam and polyester wadding, is in solid poplar and birch plywood. The seat spring system uses intertwined elastic belts, while the seat cushion padded in goose down and polyester wadding.
The feet are in moulded aluminium with ruthenium or blasted and burnished aluminium finishes.

Jay Lounge

Jay Lounge

The Jay Lounge armchair is a privileged realm to dedicate purely to ourselves. Reserved for highly personal moments of meditation, relaxation and reading. A new take on the archetypal bergère that instantly becomes a contemporary icon. A new classic, completely atypical, with a strong emphasis on hedonism. The seat is modelled around the body. The geometries are organic yet taut and sculpted. The backrest and seat are independent of each other.

Jean-Marie Massaud proceeds by subtraction, lightening the volumes and instilling movement into the composition. The armrests jut out jauntily, as if carved from the material. The ergonomics of the seat are primarily visual and are confirmed by the absolute comfort of the constructions and volumes. Thanks to the advanced processing techniques, the padding is perfectly aligned with the structure, emphasising the clean forms and offering enveloping and comfortable surfaces.

In its modern reinterpretation of the classic bergère, Jay Lounge avoids all forms of rigidity and moves in space. The specially designed die-cast base permits 360° rotation with automatic return to the starting position.

Designed for top ergonomic performance, Jay Lounge is intended for the home but is also perfectly suitable for public and work spaces.
The seat structure is in moulded rigid polyurethane reinforced with metal inserts. The padding is in moulded polyurethane foam and polyester wadding.
The 4-spoke swivel base is made from aluminium and is available in the blasted-burnished and polished finishes. Upholstery in Pelle Frau® leather from the Color System, Nest, Soul or Century leather, with refined stitching decorating the surface.

The natural complement for the comfort of the armchair is the footrest which, with its equally clean and sculpted design, comes in the same materials.
