Nivola
Light, feminine, highly alluring: Roberto
Lazzeroni’s Nivola armrest and sofa stand out for their clean, streamlined
designs. Simple and precise lines for a compact and rounded seat, enhanced by
warm and natural materials expertly processed by Poltrona Frau.
The backrest shell is formed from moulded
polyurethane foam with light padding in polyurethane foam and polyester
wadding. The seasoned beechwood seat is padded with polyurethane foam and
pressed felt and has a spring system consisting of elastic belts. The seat
cushions are in goose down with polyurethane foam stabilising insert to reduce
the sinking effect without compromising on comfort. The four feet are made from
solid ash in a wenge stain or moka ash. The external shell of the Nivola sofa
and armchair is upholstered in saddle-leather or Pelle Frau® leather while the
inside is covered in Pelle Frau® leather or fabric, enriched with fine visible
