Diva
Roberto Lazzeroni’s Diva armchair and chair are
the natural evolution of the Vittoria series. The inspiration is aesthetic
elements heavily associated with the history of Poltrona Frau and immediately
recognisable. The spiral at the bottom of the backrest is a stylised nod to the
classics. The folds at the corners of the seat, like the hand-tied biconical
springs, are Poltrona Frau hallmarks. In the Diva armchair and chair the seat
frame, padded in polyurethane foam and polyester wadding, is in birch plywood.
The shell is in moulded rigid polyurethane. The base and legs are in wenge- or
moka-stained solid ash wood (special finishes are available on request).
Moulded polyurethane foam and polyester wadding also for the padding of the
backrest. The sinuous armrests emerge naturally from the shell to create a
welcoming seat that is designed to guarantee new sensations of comfort. The
Diva is upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather or Poltrona Frau fabrics.
