SANLUCA | Armchair By Poltrona Frau
Armchair with armrests
1961
Inspired by Achille and Piergiacomo Castiglioni’s idea of removing traditional padding to leave only the “strictly necessary” curves for optimum support, the Sanluca armchair is an extraordinary example of Italian design at its very zenith. Ergonomic and still cutting-edge today, Sanluca has an extremely comfortable double profile, of great formal power, that seems to perfectly envelop the body. The Sanluca armchair can be complemented with the Luca pouf designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1991.
The rigid structure, a series of elements in birch plywood and solid beech and poplar, is formed of separate components that are subsequently assembled. Semi-glossy black-lacquered beechwood feet. The upholstery of the Sanluca armchair and Luca pouf is in Pelle Frau® leather, also two-tone.
