«Poltrona Frau’s exceptional knowledge of
materials and manufacturing techniques is second
to none. The manufacturing and control of the
leather panels inside Cove seating require an extreme
competence both for the leatherwork as for
the upholstery.
The company’s vast experience, combined with its
dedication to the highest standards of craftsmanship,
make it a unique collaborator. As the Foster + Partners
industrial design team, we have a multifaceted
and responsive way of working that Poltrona Frau
understands and has fully supported throughout
the design and manufacturing process of a
contemporary product like Cove.
It explores the realm of personal space, expanding
the notion of a simple chair in terms of function,
material and uses, from public lounges, to reception
areas, to showrooms. It also functions as part
of a cloud-like cluster of chairs, providing a secluded
space to eat, work or relax.»
