Poltrona Frau Chester Sofa
various.
Beech, lacquered wood, Leather
Poltrona Frau Chester, designed in 1912 by Renzo Frau, is nowadays an iconic sofa. It recalls the Edwardian atmospheres of the last century keeping all the main features of the original sofas that Renzo Frau fist saw in the most exclusive London's Club at the beginning of 1900, with a take on modern design. The Chester’s spring system consists of steel biconical springs, positioned by hand and attached to jute belts on a supporting structure of seasoned beechwood. The seat is padded with rubberised horsehair while the backrest and armrests are in hand-shaped vegetable horsehair. The seat cushions are in goose down. The feet can be spherical or high with finishes in beech with dark walnut stain or lacquered black beech. They are also available in leather-covered wood. Chester stands out for its pleated armrests, an appropriate finishing touch for the rich capitonné processing of the leather, carried out entirely by hand
