The elements without armrests and
backrest also make it possible to add
accessories like the Fidelio side tables
and lamp, enhancing the functionality
of the various configurations.
Armrests can be attached at both
ends or just on the left or right. The
supporting structure of the Chester
Line sofa is made from solid seasoned
beechwood. The seat, backrest and
armrest spring system consists of
hand-tied biconical springs on jute
belts. The backrest and armrests are
padded with hand-shaped vegetable
horsehair. Seat cushion in goose down
with the addition of a polyurethane
foam stabilising insert. The upholstery
is in Pelle Frau® leather, which can
be matched with the Poltrona Frau
fabrics in different combinations.
Feet in the classic spherical version
in beechwood with a dark walnut
stain or lacquered black; 12 cm high in
beechwood with a dark walnut stain
or lacquered black; in beechwood
covered with leather matching the
upholstery of the sofa, or in blade-
shaped brushed aluminium with a
burnished effect.
The distinctive features and precious
processing details of the Chester are
all present, revisited here in a lighter
form in the quest for an informal
elegance achieved by subtraction:
the historic capitonné remains on the
backrest while the base of the sofa
disappears; the metal feet are almost
invisible to further emphasise the
beauty of the seat; compared with the
classic two-seater sofa, there is just
one large cushion which is even more
comfortable.
