Fred
The Fred desk is a meeting of
light, almost ethereal geometries. Roberto
Lazzeroni creates a piece of furniture in which the visual pleasure
of a continuous saddle-leather surface is underlined by delicate hand-produced
incisions and cold markings that create refined graphic decorations. A special
procedure makes it possible to curve the front of the saddle-leather without
any need for internal supports. The ideal companion of the Fred desk is the
Ginger chair, designed to make the study even more complete and harmonious. The
structure of the Fred desk is made from solid ash with a wenge or moka stain
and triangular cross-section, which highlights its lightness. Same material and
finishes also for the drawer that completes the desk, mounted on metal runners
with soft closing mechanism. The surface is covered using a single piece of 4
mm-thick Cuoio Saddle Extra leather without any divisions or stitching. The raw
edge seam is finished with protective wax and dye. Metal accessories with
gunmetal grey galvanic treatment and protective varnish.
