Collection Story
Origin
Chancellor is a family of work chairs by the studio trio Lievore - Altherr - Molina, whose office models Poltrona Frau dates to 2008. The sheet calls it a collection of sober, geometrical chairs with a strong scenic presence in the workplace. The page words it as a seat collection with understated geometries and a strong visual presence in the workspace.
Design Language
What the page and the sheet single out is the armrest: in the Chancellor chairs it continues on from the seat, which they say gives new scope for expression and improves comfort and relaxation. The models named are President, Executive, Managerial, Meeting and Visitor, and a separate Conference chair on its own sheet is listed as belonging to the same collection.

Shared construction
Across the office models the sheet gives one build: polyurethane foam moulded over a metal insert forms seat, armrests and backrest, with differentiated-density foam and a polyester wadding quilt on top. The base is finished in polished aluminium or dark grey aluminium, and the covering is Pelle Frau® ColorSphere® leather, which is not removable, with stitching in a thread matching the leather or contrasting with it.
