Story
Three seats, one construction
The T89 is drawn in a distinctly contemporary style, and its versatile geometries let it sit in both classical and modern environments. The TLT has a refined, curved profile in the traditional theatre style, while the curved design of the TLR evokes the charm and opulence of times past.
Research and development
Poltrona Frau names its Style & Design Centre as the designer, and the three share one build: a wood frame, an automatic tip-up seat and metal bases for installation in rows.
