Construction
A slatted walnut structure carries saddle leather and a seat upholstered in Pelle Frau ColorSphere. Contrasting stitching and strap details are specified, and the chair can be adjusted in height and customised with different colours and woods.
Story
From bespoke interiors to a repeatable seat
Poltrona Frau calls La Selle the first mass-produced product created by its Custom Interiors division with Winch Design. The collaboration draws on the studio's work in yacht and aviation interiors.
English references
The design combines references to Windsor chairs and saddle making. Architectural stable elements are translated into the slatted structure, straps and tailored seat treatment.
