Sedia Viola
Made by Poltrona Frau
Designed by Alberto Zattin
La sedia Viola nasce da una commissione del ristorante stellato Michelin Four Seasons di Hong Kong, concepita insieme al celebre studio di design alberghiero AB Concept. Ciò che il designer Alberto Zattin ha realizzato è una forma che ha da tempo superato le sue origini.
Lo schienale in legno delicatamente curvato confluisce in modo continuo nei braccioli, formando un gesto unico e ininterrotto che risulta sia strutturale che scultoreo. È una silhouette definita dalla sobrietà, sicura di sé senza insistenza.
Ciò che contraddistingue Viola da lontano viene confermato da vicino. Sessanta lacci individuali in cuoio per selle sono intrecciati a mano per collegare lo schienale alla struttura, un dettaglio che premia un'attenta osservazione e parla direttamente di oltre un secolo di artigianato italiano della pelle. Il dialogo tra legno massello e trama aperta produce una leggerezza che permette alla sedia di mantenere la sua presenza senza dominare la stanza.

Domande Frequenti
Who designed the Poltrona Frau Viola Chair?
Viola was designed by AB Concept, a Hong Kong-based interior design studio known for its work in luxury hospitality. The chair was originally created for the three-Michelin-star Four Seasons restaurant in Hong Kong before being developed into a broader collection by Poltrona Frau.
What is the saddle-leather lace detail on the Viola Chair?
Sixty individual laces of saddle leather are woven by hand to join the curved wooden backrest to the chair's frame. This technique is a hallmark of Poltrona Frau's artisanal approach, where the leather connection serves both a structural and aesthetic function.
What upholstery options are available for the Viola Chair?
The Viola Chair is available in a range of Poltrona Frau's signature leather and fabric upholstery options, allowing it to be tailored to specific interiors. Configuration choices typically include seat and cushion materials alongside finish options for the wooden frame.
Is the Viola Chair suitable for contract or hospitality use?
Yes. Viola was conceived specifically for a high-profile restaurant environment, and its construction reflects that origin. Poltrona Frau produces contract-grade versions of many of its pieces, and the Viola's combination of durable materials and considered ergonomics makes it well suited to professional settings.
Where are Poltrona Frau chairs manufactured?
Poltrona Frau chairs are produced at the company's historic atelier in Tolentino, in the Marche region of Italy, where the same craft traditions established at the brand's founding in 1912 continue to guide production today.
