Ceo Cube Desk
The pure form, the blend of materials, the
solidity of a technically-advanced structure, the soul of Poltrona Frau. Lella
and Massimo Vignelli design micro architectures rather than straightforward
items of furniture to deftly divide and populate the spaces of the most
prestigious workplaces.
The C.E.O. Cube series includes meeting tables,
executive desks and storage units. Simple geometries that help showcase the
various materials, from fine Pelle Frau® leather to wood and aluminium alloys.
The CEO Cube Desk executive desks are asymmetric in design with supporting
structure in tubular metal and crossbars in sheet metal with specific niches
for cables and wiring. The desktop and leg are made from double MDF panelling
with rounded edges, upholstered on the outside with Pelle Frau® leather or
finished with a Canaletto walnut veneer. Both versions have a central leather
panel. The panels beneath the top are in wood fibre with a texturised black
finish. The cube that supports one side of the desk is fitted with a system
that allows it to rotate. Equipped with two accessorised drawers and a filing
drawer with lock, externally it has an open compartment divided by a grid of
polished aluminium shelves. The cube is also upholstered in Pelle Frau®
leather.
The CEO Cube Easy Desk has an overturned ‘C’
structure and can be enhanced with the addition of a wheeled drawer unit. All
CEO Cube desks can also be fitted with aluminium modesty panels fully
upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather.
The C.E.O. Cube Meeting Tables, round,
rectangular or oval in shape, have cylindrical tubular metal legs, lightly
padded and upholstered in leather. The structural frame is made of black-painted
iron. The surface consists of two overlapping panels with tapered edges: the
bottom panel is coated with texturised black paint while the top panel has
light foam padding and is upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather. The 'President
Area' is located on one of the two shorter sides of the rectangular Ceo Cube
Meeting Tables, according to taste. The Pelle Frau® leather upholstery of the
'President area' can come in a different colour to the upholstery of the table.
The Ceo Cube Meeting Tables are available in four versions: the standard
version with simple surface upholstered in leather and three Hardware versions
that can be equipped for the passage of electrical cables.
The Hardware version with leather central
panels comes with a cable passageway in perforated sheet metal and painted
black. Above the cable passageway is a row of panels upholstered in Pelle Frau®
leather. The Hardware version with leather central panels and cableway has the
same set up. Each central panel has a metal cable tidy available with a
chrome-plated or black painted finish. The Hardware version with leather doors
is equipped like the other HW versions but enriched at the centre of the
tabletop, above the cable passageways, with a series of sheet metal doors with
Pelle Frau® leather upholstery that can be used to access an internal
compartment equipped with a metal cable tidy with a chrome-plated or black
painted finish. On request the internal compartments can be customised with an
electrical device provided by the customer.
