Janine
Made by Ceccotti Collezioni
Designed by Roberto Lazzeroni
Roberto Lazzeroni revisits one of Ceccotti Collezioni's most enduring silhouettes, the Cigarra armchair, and arrives somewhere new. The Janine is quieter, softer, and more of the present moment, without surrendering any of the formal precision that defines Ceccotti's craft tradition.
Its polished solid wood backrest carries the structural gesture, while the upholstered seat, held taut by a belted frame, yields gently underfoot. The tension between these two elements, one unyielding, one accommodating, is where the chair's character lives.
- Frame in solid American walnut or ash, with a wide range of available wood finishes
- Seat upholstered in fabric, leather, or Poltrona Frau leather in multiple colors
- Belted frame construction that deepens the comfort of the seat
- Suited to dining rooms, contract environments, and considered residential interiors
- Made to order from Ceccotti Collezioni's Tuscan workshops
Lazzeroni has long worked at the intersection of memory and modernity, drawing on Italian craft heritage while insisting on a contemporary sensibility. The Janine reflects that dialogue: a chair that honors its origins while standing fully on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cigarra armchair and how does Janine relate to it?
The Cigarra is a historical design from Ceccotti Collezioni's archive. The Janine, designed by Roberto Lazzeroni, reinterprets that earlier form with a more contemporary profile, softer tailoring, and a belted seat construction, making it a distinct evolution rather than a direct reproduction.
What wood species and finishes are available for the Janine?
The Janine is offered in solid American walnut or ash, with a broad range of wood finishes available. As a made-to-order piece, finish specifications can be coordinated through authorized dealers.
Can the Janine be upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather?
Yes. The Janine can be specified in fabric, standard leather, or Poltrona Frau leather, each available in multiple colors. Poltrona Frau's full-grain hides are produced in Tolentino, Italy, and are widely regarded as a benchmark in European upholstery.
Is the Janine suitable for contract or hospitality use?
The chair is designed to perform in both residential and refined contract settings. Its made-to-order construction and breadth of finish options make it adaptable to hospitality, private dining, and other professionally specified environments.
Who is Roberto Lazzeroni and what defines his design approach?
Roberto Lazzeroni is a Tuscan architect and designer known for work that draws on Italian craft heritage while maintaining a restrained, contemporary sensibility. His furniture for Ceccotti Collezioni is consistently shaped by a close relationship with the workshop, where material choice and joinery are treated as expressive rather than merely functional decisions.
