Geschichte
East and West
Poltrona Frau describes the project as meeting two visions. Lu starts from the calligraphic purity associated with the historic Ming chair and sets it against a Western language of geometric and cubic rigour.
One continuous surface
The armrests, seat and back are treated as a single thin plane rather than separate padded volumes. Its attachment points remain visible, so the upholstered surface appears suspended inside the steel outline.
