Elegant and intentionally rising above ideas of fashion, H_O is a collection of refined furniture of exclusive taste which Claudio Silvestrin designed in response to the need for a prestigious and tastefully luxurious Home Office. The collection consists of a desk with drawers, available in two different sizes; a pc table; a console table with a thick top; a cupboard; and three tables of different sizes, two circular and one oval, to meet the different needs of social encounters and work. The bookcase, which is modular, is based on a combination of three base elements – drawer, column and shelf – that can be used in different configurations. The table top is a sandwich in poplar plywood with an MDF exterior and metal reinforcements. The surfaces of the tables, desks, cabinet, console table and bookcase are in dove grey or coffee-coloured leather. The supporting columns of the desks and tables are in Valcamonica Porphyry, in chestnut-purple, or in White Porphyry, with white-beige tints. The wood of the shelves and frames come in ash-tinted oak for the light-coloured leather or stone combinations, or in Louro Preto for the darker versions in the collection. The entire collection is upholstered in Tortorà or Caffè-colours hide. In the ‘Square’ versions, the basic upholstery is finished with a 16x16 cm square ‘tone-on-tone’ design. The central part of the Oval Meeting Table top is pre-prepared with the possibility of opening up 4 containers to hold electrical installations.
The H_O LAC (varnished) collection includes two desks with a very thick top. The top of the President and Executive desks is made of poplar plywood sandwiched between MDF boards. The one-piece, no joints top is varnished in glossy white NCS 1002-Y or glossy black 9000-N.
In order to varnish the top with a glossy finish in the chosen colour, customers are requested to provide to Poltrona Frau an international colour code (RAL or NCS) or a colour sample on a physical substrate of at least 50x50 mm to allow proper scanning using suitable devices.
The desk mat is made of MDF board lined with Pelle Frau® leather from the Color System, matching the leather lined metal leg. The desk rests on the floor on feet made of plastic material. On the side opposite the leg, the desks feature a natural finish white travertine or slate column. The drawer unit can be placed on the right or the left of the user, always on the side of the column; the unit's poplar plywood frame is covered with Louro Preto or Ash-tinted oak veneer. In the standard configuration, the drawer unit has a box drawer and a file drawer. An opening on the top, near the column, allows the passage of cables.
