The 1934 replica still sported a
rounded seatback and finishing by
means of a row of leather-covered
nails, which were the formal traits
of Victorian living room furniture,
combined with the other comfort-
making features of these armchairs:
deep seat, comfortable arms, a plush
cushion filled with goose down. The
padding of rubberised horsehair is
applied by hand onto the biconic steel
springs of the seat and back springing.
The structure is made of seasoned
beech wood. Upholstery is available
in Pelle Frau® leather from the Color
System, in Heritage and in Soul
leather. The upholstery is also available
in Pelle Frau® leather for the structure
and in fabric for the seat cushions.
Lyra made its debut as a full leather
article in Poltrona Frau’s catalogue
of 1934, as a variant of Lira,
an earlier model (from 1916)
that had a velvet cushion.
