Jack
The Jack bed, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, has the authority
and character of a product that defines a space. The headboard is superbly
rigorous, embellished by a light and delicate hand-stitched X motif that epitomises
the expert craftsmanship typically associated with Poltrona Frau. Jack can be
enriched with two bedside surfaces, upholstered like the bed. The structure of
the Jack headboard is in birch plywood and MDF with soft padding in
polyurethane foam and polyester wadding. The base is made from lightly padded
poplar plywood. The cylindrical feet are in matt black-coloured aluminium. The
optional bedside surfaces are composed of a circular surface upholstered in
Pelle Frau® leather and a metal arm with gunmetal grey finish that allows them
to be moved. The upholstery is in Pelle Frau® leather. The Jack bed can be
completed with the wide range of bed surfaces, mattresses and coordinated
accessories from the Poltrona Frau Notte® collection.

Jean-Marie Massaud |
Born in
Toulouse in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated in 1990 from Les Ateliers, Ecole
Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris. He began to work both in
Asia and in France, finally opening his own office in Paris in 1994. Since
than, he has dedicated himself to industrial and furniture design, building
important relationships with brands such as Authentics, Baccarat and Magis. His collaboration with
Marc Berthier and his work in the field of town planning led him towards design
and architecture. He is concerned with design in various contexts, industrial
products and furniture. His contextual approach centres on research into the
essential, within which the individual remains the centre of attention. It is a
work upheld by research into the senses, magic, and vital emotion which brings
him to work with very different brands: Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini,
Cacharel, Lancôme, Tronconi and Yamaha offshore. His works have been awarded
several prizes and many of his designs are nowadays on show in the design
collections of the major museums worldwide: from Amsterdam, Chicago, London,
Paris and Zurich: from the permanent collection of the Musée National d'Art
Moderne de Paris to the permanent collections of the Museum für Gestaltung,
Zürich, of The Chicago Athenaeum- Museum of Architecture and Design, of The
Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and of The Musée des arts Décoratifs, Paris.
