Clayton Sofa

Overview

Clayton is a sofa by Jean-Marie Massaud for Poltrona Frau. The page presents it as the first piece of the Clayton series, a sofa distinctive for its sartorial elegance and yet radically contemporary, and says it comes either fully upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather or in leather combined with the range of Poltrona Frau fabrics.

Construction

Backrest and side panels are steel with light polyurethane padding, joined by visible metal hinges with a ruthenium finish. The seat springing is made of handwoven saddle-leather belts, and the seat stands on steel blade feet with a ruthenium finish.

Specifications

• 2-seater sofa, 5633211: W 192 cm, D 88 cm, H 76 cm
• Cushions: goose down in the backrest and armrest cushions, polyurethane foam in the seat cushion
• Stitching: 3D stitching on the back and side panels, hand-stitched X shapes on the seat cushions

A haute couture sofa

The sheet says Jean-Marie Massaud interprets the Clayton sofa as a sophisticated haute couture creation, with luxurious stitching, like that of fine tailoring, running along the whole outer surface of the leather-upholstered backrest and armrests for a sophisticated three-dimensional effect.

Lightness in the structure

The page describes the architecture of the sofa as clear and light, with the seat held up by woven belts and standing on blade feet. The seat cushions are embellished with delicate X-shaped hand-stitching in contrasting thread.
