Bretagne Bed
For the Bretagne bed Poltrona Frau R. & D. chooses
a calibrated and harmonious design that exudes understated elegance. Enveloping
and protective like a shell, it is beautifully balanced and draws the attention
to the bedhead with its distinctive round shape and variable density padding.
Thanks to its slight
incline and comfortable cushions, the headboard of the Bretagne is perfect for
reading but also guarantees maximum comfort.
The base of the Bretagne is composed of spruce blockboard bed frame boards and
a poplar plywood footboard with polyurethane foam padding. The feet are made
from aluminium with gunmetal grey finish. The headboard consists of a frame in
solid poplar, beech and tulipwood, and birch plywood. The padding is in
polyurethane foam and polyester wadding. The cushions are made from
polyurethane foam and polyester wadding. They are attached to the headboard
using zip fasteners and velcro strips. The upholstery of the Bretagne bed
creates elegant decorative effects, combining Pelle Frau® leather for the bed
frame and headboard with removable fabric covers for the cushions. As an alternative,
a version entirely upholstered in leather is also available.

Poltrona Frau R. & D |
Poltrona
Frau, Second half of the 60. In the second half of the 1960s, Poltrona Frau
created an internal structure to manage research and development. Whilst
preserving the know-how of expert craftsmanship, the Centre for Research and
Development experiments with new material, new building techniques and creates
new forms.
The highly specialised
design technicians that make up the group benefit from a superbly equipped
prototype laboratory, where they can give form to new ideas. Products and raw
material are tested in the Analysis and Experimentation Laboratory, a very
efficient structure for the fine-tuning of high-quality products conforming
international norms. |
