The meticulous craftsmanship
pays tribute to Poltrona Frau’s
time-honoured leather culture and
artisanship. Saddle Extra Leather
straps, each expertly and individually
hand woven, give shape to the cover.
Supported by a tubular aluminium
structure, the storage unit appears to
be suspended on thin, almost graphic,
steel supports. The depth of the
leather and the sharpness of the metal
create interesting movements of light.
Each detail is precious. The edges
of the woven leather bands are also
dyed tone-on-tone using techniques
typically associated with fine small
leather goods. The inside surface
of the Saddle leather is also finished
with a protective transparent wax
treatment. Galvanic treatment for
the steel structure with gunmetal or
blasted and burnished finish.
GamFratesi took inspiration from
the traditional sewing basket when
designing the modern and refined
Cestlavie accessories. The material
sensations of leather and the lightness
of the metal architecture meet in a
striking and elegant visual synthesis.
