Fidelio Bench
The Fidelio bench, which enriches an already lavish collection,
is a seat of great formal purity that allows the intrinsic beauty of the
materials to speak for themselves. The warm intensity of the saddle-leather
marries with the richness of the solid wood; the elegant folds and visible
stitching of the surfaces offset the minimal lines of the base, obtained
through the expert and painstaking crafting of the wood. With the Fidelio
bench, designer Roberto Lazzeroni achieves
a formal and noteworthy balance. The understated design, the precision of the
lines and the consistency of every minimal detail give it a relaxing, calming
appearance. Slightly concave, the Fidelio seat exudes comfort while maintaining
its rigour. The perfect element for the bedroom, visibly minimalist, the bench
can easily be combined with all Poltrona Frau beds, including the biggest and
boldest models. Its discreet design, sophisticated details and defined
personality make it highly versatile. The upholstery is in saddle-leather with
tone-on-tone or contrast stitching. The structure is made from solid ash with a
wenge or moka stain and triangular cross-section.
