Story
Sixty pieces, each numbered
For the sixtieth anniversary the page presents a particularly sophisticated reissue of the Dezza armchair, limited to 60 pieces. Each carries its own number, a signed certificate of authenticity and a metal tag placed on the back of the armchair.
A motif of 26 hands
The upholstery reproduces an unpublished illustration by Ponti: 26 stylized hands, each different and each with a name and a characteristic, among them the gloved hand, the starry hand, the rotating hand and the fortune-teller's hand. The page ties the motif to the intelligence of the hands with which the chair is built, one of the key values of the Poltrona Frau brand.
