Volare Due
With the Volare Due bed, Roberto Lazzeroni
revisits the previous Volare, playing with the contrast between tension and
suspension that accentuates the various volumes of the bed and its combinations
of leather, wood, saddle leather and fabric. The result is a new version of the
product which exudes the same elegance as the original model but without the
imposing grandeur of a four-poster bed.
The precise design gives rise to a sizeable
structure, luxurious in terms of its processing and natural materials, yet
discrete and measured at the same time. The Volare Due bed becomes an oasis of
comfort and relaxation, perfect for a position in the middle of the room but
equally at home against the wall. A warm and welcoming object in terms of its
colours and textural combinations.
The Volare Due bed has a triangular profile in
solid ash wood with moka finish. The bed frame is in tulipwood and entirely
upholstered in Cuoio Saddle Extra or Pelle Frau® leather, just like the
headboard, which is made of solid beech with internal crossbars in birch
plywood and infill with hardboard panels. The headboard is attached to the
structure using metal spacers with gunmetal grey finish and held in place using
plates with the same finish. The central crossbar and leg, corner plates and
cable brackets are made from black painted steel sheet metal.
Two soft and sumptuous pillows, padded with
polyester wadding and cotton canvas, are attached to the headboard via two
leather belts. On the front of the headboard the belts pass through a metal
eyelet with gunmetal grey finish and are fixed to the back by buttons also with
a gunmetal grey finish and the Poltrona Frau logo. The cushions are upholstered
in Pelle Frau® leather or fabric refined with leather border piping.
