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
