Volare
With Volare, Roberto Lazzeroni outlines
his light and airy vision of the classic four-poster bed. The precise design
gives rise to a large structure, luxurious in terms of its processing and
natural materials, yet discrete and measured at the same time. The Volare bed
becomes an oasis of comfort and relaxation, perfect for the middle of the room
and for large spaces. A piece of furniture that is warm and welcoming in terms
of its colours and padding, and in its combinations of leather, saddle-leather,
wood and fabric. The four-poster structure of the Volare bed, in solid ash with triangular
cross-section and moka finish, tapers towards the top, gradually becoming
thinner and lighter. The footboard and bed frame boards are made of 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. Two soft and sumptuous pillows,
padded with polyester wadding, are attached to the headboard via two belts in
saddle-leather or leather. On the front of the headboard the belts penetrate 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 upholstery is
in Pelle Frau® leather, also two-tone, or fabric refined with border piping in
leather or saddle-leather.
