Story
From a musician's piano stool
Poltrona Frau says Glenn Gould's piano stool prompted Roberto Lazzeroni's design. The manufacturer links the piece to its 2019 armchair through matching hand-worked capitonné, yet describes the ottoman as deliberately capable of standing alone.
A separate companion
The product sheet calls Glenn a pouf-bench and says it can accompany the 2019 armchair or sit with other furniture. Its structure and dimensions distinguish it from the longer Glenn bench represented by the second drawing on the same sheet.
