Story
A compact seat with light lines
Poltrona Frau's concept text for Nivola calls Roberto Lazzeroni's armchair and sofa light, feminine and highly alluring, with clean and streamlined designs. The seat is described as compact and rounded.
Two upholsteries in one shell
The sheet explains the covering: the first material listed is applied to the external shell, the second to the inner surface and the seat. Visible stitching emphasises the pairing of materials.
