Story
A piano stool
Poltrona Frau recalls that the pianist Glenn Gould was so attached to his personal piano stool, an old chair adapted by his father, that he refused to play without it. That stool inspired Lazzeroni to design Glenn.
Pouf, bench or footrest
The company says Glenn was deliberately designed as a natural complement to the new 2019 armchair: the capitonné processing of the seat is identical to the handmade detailing on the armchair's backrest. Its personality and balanced proportions make it an independent and versatile item that is at home in any setting, alone or combined with other furnishings.
