Volare bed
Made by Poltrona Frau
Designed by Roberto Lazzeroni
Roberto Lazzeroni conceived the Volare as a contemporary reinterpretation of the canopy bed, a form that carries centuries of architectural and symbolic weight. The result is generous without being imposing: a solid wood structure that draws a deliberate boundary around the sleeping space, creating a sense of enclosure that reads as atmosphere rather than mass.
The headboard is upholstered in Poltrona Frau's Pelle Frau leather or premium fabrics, offered across a wide palette of colors and finishes. Saddle leather details, refined wood joinery, and carefully composed padding work together in a language of precision and warmth. Each element is chosen for its tactile presence as much as its visual role.
- Solid wood canopy structure with refined proportions
- Headboard upholstered in Pelle Frau leather or premium fabric
- Saddle leather accents at structural junctions
- Made to order with extensive customization options
Lazzeroni's approach to the Volare belongs to a broader sensibility in his work: the conviction that furniture can define space without dominating it. The canopy here is not a gesture of grandeur but of framing, quietly organizing the room around a center of rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
What upholstery options are available for the Volare bed?
The Volare's headboard can be upholstered in Poltrona Frau's Pelle Frau leather, which is sourced and tanned exclusively for the brand, or in a selection of premium fabrics. Both options are available across an extensive range of colors and finishes to suit a specific interior program.
Who is Roberto Lazzeroni?
Roberto Lazzeroni is an Italian architect and designer based in Pisa, known for work that bridges historic craft traditions with a contemporary formal sensibility. He has collaborated with several of Italy's most respected furniture manufacturers, consistently exploring the relationship between structure, material, and spatial atmosphere.
How does the Volare differ from a traditional canopy bed?
Where traditional canopy beds rely on drapery and ornament to create enclosure, the Volare achieves its sense of shelter through proportion and the precise geometry of its solid wood frame. The effect is architectural rather than decorative, grounding the bed within a room without visual heaviness.
Is the Volare bed made to order?
Yes, the Volare is produced to order, allowing for selection of wood finish, upholstery material, color, and configuration. Lead times vary based on specification, and consultation with a design professional is recommended for complex or custom projects.
What is Pelle Frau leather?
Pelle Frau is Poltrona Frau's proprietary leather, produced through a full-grain tanning process developed and refined over more than a century. It is prized for its consistent quality, its range of saturated and nuanced colors, and the way it develops a distinct patina with use over time.
