Story
High backrest, woven in rope
The page says the high backrest of this armchair is where the handmade rope weave plays with light and shadow. The sheet describes the Solaria seating system as an ode to comfort and lightness, and adds that the armchair aims to recall a refined reading of Scandinavian design through minimal lines.
Part of the Solaria range
Poltrona Frau presents the armchair as the piece that rounds off the Solaria range within its Boundless Living Outdoor Collections, offered in a high or low backrest with or without armrests.
