Domande Frequenti

What leather does the Fred Desk use?

The Fred Desk is upholstered in Poltrona Frau's Saddle Extra leather, a full-grain hide known for its density, suppleness, and ability to develop a rich patina over time. The top is 4 mm thick and features hand-executed incisions and cold markings applied by skilled artisans.

Who designed the Fred Desk for Poltrona Frau?

The Fred Desk was designed by Roberto Lazzeroni, an Italian architect and designer based in Pisa whose work consistently bridges historical craft with a refined contemporary sensibility. His long collaboration with Poltrona Frau has produced some of the brand's most distinctive leather-upholstered pieces.

Can the Fred Desk be customized in different leather colors?

Yes. The desk is available across Poltrona Frau's extensive Saddle Extra leather palette, allowing for a high degree of personalization in both hide color and wood finish. Configuration options are best explored with a design consultant familiar with the full range.

What wood options are available for the Fred Desk frame?

The structure is crafted in solid ash and is offered in moka or wenge stains. The triangular-profile legs are integral to the design, contributing both structural stability and the desk's characteristic visual lightness.

How is the curved leather front of the Fred Desk formed?

The curved leather front is achieved through a specialized artisanal shaping process developed by Poltrona Frau's craftspeople. Rather than stitching separate panels, the technique allows the hide to follow the desk's contour continuously, producing a clean, uninterrupted surface.
