Archibald Dining Chair, 2019 Original Manufacturer: Poltrona Frau > Designer: Jean-Marie Massaud > Country: Italy

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Inspired by his iconic Archibald chair, Wallpaper*Award in the “Best Domestic Design” section in 2009, Jean-Marie Massaud creates another little masterpiece, a dining chair of impeccable elegance.‎

The Archibald dining chair is sculpted, clean and contemporary, softened with a sartorial touch that is evident in every detail, like the sumptuous folds on the inside of the backrest upholstered in leather.‎ Or the understated armrest that resembles a shirt collar that has been left slightly open with a casualness that is both deliberate and undeniably elegant.‎ Or the precious contrast stitching, which discreetly and skilfully underlines the curved line of the back and profiles.‎
The most recent addition to the Archibald collection, which ten years ago arrived on the scene as a contemporary take on the classic English tub chair, the new Archibald dining chair boasts all the comfort of the rest of the collection but has a sleeker, more casual allure that makes it particularly eclectic and perfect for both contemporary spaces and, conversely, more classic interiors.‎

The shell and armrests of the Archibald dining chair are made from moulded rigid polyurethane while the internal padding consists of soft moulded polyurethane and polyester wadding.‎ The frame, also padded in polyurethane foam and wadding, is made from birch plywood.‎ Elastic springs.‎ The 4-legged base is made from solid ash with a Wenge or Moka stain, and has felt pads or a choice of protective guides at the ends of the legs.‎ It can be upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather or fabric.‎ The leather version is embellished with contrast stitching.‎
