Poltrona Frau exposes itself and reveals the soul of one of its icons. Chester, straight from the historical archives, the year 1912. Armchair and sofa in an experimental revival created for the setting of the Fuori Salone 2011. A structure of pure craftsmanship wrapped in a simple sheet of PVC. Thick, transparent, it lets you see the skeleton of the chair. Jute webbing. Biconical springs. A supporting structure in seasoned beech dyed a pale white. Contemporary installation. Between art and design. Between past and future. To show, in no uncertain terms, the heart of the ability to do that began almost one hundred years ago. A tradition which in this original revival reveals and confirms all its modernity and freshness. The PVC sheet is shaped so it can be used as a chair and sofa. Chester becomes a unique piece. A furnishing manifesto of a way of thinking and designing. Through an unwilling story, through ellipses. The leather upholstery, the quilted seams, buttons, the goose down, the horsehair. High-quality materials and precise workmanship. Elements of an artisan culture that make the style of Poltrona Frau something unique and unrepeatable. In this case removed to see down to the depths. And reach the core, at the base of the highest Italian quality, proudly displayed to reveal its full expressive force. Springs, straps, wood. All accompanied by careful craftsmanship, where comfort and timeless beauty originate. The essence of a world. The intelligence of the hands of Poltrona Frau.
