Sedia da pranzo Archibald Slim
Made by Poltrona Frau
Designed by Jean-Marie Massaud
Jean-Marie Massaud ha concepito la Archibald Slim come uno studio sulla riduzione disciplinata. La silhouette è essenziale e verticale, eppure le proporzioni trasmettono una tranquilla sicurezza: una sedia che si legge come un mobile e funziona come un'architettura all'interno di una stanza.
La scocca è realizzata in poliuretano rigido, imbottita con morbida schiuma poliuretanica e ovatta di poliestere, mentre il telaio del sedile sottostante è in multistrato di betulla, anch'esso imbottito e sospeso su cinghie elastiche per una resilienza che smentisce il profilo snello della sedia. Quattro gambe in legno massello di frassino ancorano la forma, disponibili in una gamma di finiture che spostano la personalità della sedia da calda e domestica a fredda e contract.
Il rivestimento in pelle Pelle Frau – la pelle di Poltrona Frau, selezionata e lavorata a Tolentino – definisce la superficie della sedia con una raffinata cucitura lungo i bordi e lo schienale esterno. Le opzioni di tessuto ne ampliano la gamma senza diluirne la precisione.

Domande Frequenti
What is Pelle Frau leather and how is it made?
Pelle Frau is Poltrona Frau's proprietary leather, sourced from select European hides and processed entirely in Tolentino, in the Marche region of Italy. The tanning and finishing process is conducted in-house, giving the leather a consistent grain, a refined hand feel, and a patina that deepens with age and use.
Is the Archibald Slim suitable for commercial and hospitality use?
Yes. The chair's construction, combining a rigid polyurethane shell with birch plywood seat frame and elastic belt suspension, is engineered for durability under sustained use. Its restrained silhouette also adapts readily to contract environments, from private dining rooms to hotel restaurants.
Who is designer Jean-Marie Massaud?
Jean-Marie Massaud is a French designer and architect whose practice spans furniture, product design, and large-scale architecture. His work is defined by a philosophy of reduction: stripping form to its essentials while preserving sensory warmth. The Archibald family, which includes both lounge and dining configurations, is among his most recognized collaborations with Poltrona Frau.
What ash wood finishes are available for the legs?
The solid ash wood legs are available in multiple stained finishes, ranging from lighter, warm-toned options to darker, cooler lacquers. The finish selection allows the chair to read quite differently depending on context, shifting from a domestic warmth to a more contractual restraint.
How does the elastic belt suspension affect seating comfort?
The elastic belt system suspends the birch plywood seat frame rather than mounting it rigidly, introducing a subtle give that absorbs the sitter's weight and distributes pressure more evenly. This mechanism is a key reason the Archibald Slim can maintain a lean, upright profile without sacrificing the comfort expected over a full dining experience.
