Overview
Nivola is a 2014 two-seat sofa by Roberto Lazzeroni, defined by Poltrona Frau through simple, precise lines and a compact form. The two-seat model belongs to a range that also includes an armchair.
Construction
Moulded polyurethane forms the backrest shell; seasoned beech supports the seat. Elastic belts provide suspension, with polyurethane, polyester wadding and pressed felt distributed through the back, arms and seat. Solid-ash legs carry the frame.
Specifications
Model 5576211 measures 1690 × 800 × 745 mm overall. Leather, fabric and mixed-material upholstery arrangements are offered, with the outer shell and inner surface treated as separate zones.
Story
Compact seating from 2014
Poltrona Frau's product sheet dates Nivola to 2014 and credits Roberto Lazzeroni. The manufacturer's concept text stresses a compact seat, a visually light design and a contrast between exact lines and warm materials.
Two upholstery zones
The external shell and the inner sitting surface can carry different materials. Visible stitching marks their meeting, while the ash base raises the upholstered volume on four legs with triangular sections.
