Bolero Ravel
Roberto
Lazzeroni has
designed the Bolero Ravel table for Poltrona Frau.
The top produced from a single slab of barrel-shaped marble, the tapered edges
and the 3-legged base make it even more dynamic and sleek. A sensual score of
sounds that blend together harmoniously in space: Roberto Lazzeroni was clearly
inspired by Ravel’s hypnotic Bolero when he designed this sleek table which
seems to be almost suspended in the air despite its “heavy” materials.
Materials like the marble top which, attached to the supports using a spacer,
almost appears to float in space. Its faintly trapeze-like shape accentuates
the visual perception of a thickness reduced to the minimum. A sensation
emphasised by the refined bevelled edges which slant upwards on the short sides
and downwards on the long sides. The original tapered triangular section gives
the 3-legged base greater dynamism. The overall effect is one of an ethereal
table of understated elegance that is easily combined with other pieces of
Poltrona Frau furniture. The Bolero Ravel table has a self-supporting easel
structure base consisting of three legs with distinctive triangular
cross-section. The legs can come in wenge-coloured solid ash wood or solid
Canaletto walnut. Mounting plates and spacers in black lacquered steel. The top
is made from a single slab of barrel-shaped marble with tapered edges. It can
come in Calacatta Oro or Fior di Pesco marble. Both are available with a
polished finish, treated with a polished paint that improves the resistance of
the surface preventing the absorption of liquids, or a semi-polished finish,
treated with a more natural looking water-repellent oil. The bottom surface of
the marble top has a technical mesh to guarantee its resistance.
