Ren Complementary Units
Ren,
floor and wall mirror and mirror clothes rack, is part of
the large collection designed by Neri
& Hu for the entrance hall, the place where we welcome guests
and offer them the first taste of our furnishing style. With their refined
craftsmanship and versatile forms, the Ren floor and wall mirrors welcome
visitors with true Poltrona Frau elegance but can also be used in other spaces:
from the living room to the bedroom, from the bathroom to the study. Designed
to complete the home with a touch of discreet and comfortable style, the Ren
mirrors are available in the Round mirror (Ø 430 mm) or Oval mirror (280 x 1200
mm) versions, also separately, and in the table version (Ø 310 mm). They have a
brass frame covered with Saddle Extra leather while the back is in birch plywood
with a Canaletto walnut veneer. The table mirror consists of a round mirror
fixed to a supporting structure with a brushed steel hook with brass finish.
The free-standing mirror clothes rack consists of an oval mirror, a low shelf
and two hooks for hanging clothes. The wall-hung mirror clothes rack is
composed of a Canaletto walnut bar to which a round mirror, a circular key tray
and two hooks for hanging clothes are attached (wall-mounting system not
included).
