Twils POLET High-back armchair bed with armrests

Twils is presenting Polet, the functional but atypical armchair/bed designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1992 and which Twils has decided to re-edit.‎ Polet has a solid beech structure with black lacquered finish fitted with a brass joint offering four different reclined positions.‎
The idea of Twils making a new edition of Polet came about in 2020, during lockdown, from a conversation between Giovanna Castiglioni, narrator and founder alongside her brother Carlo of the Achille Castiglioni Foundation dedicated to her father, and Matteo Ragni, art director of Twils.‎
“Twils has always been strongly design-oriented” - says Vilma Carnieletto, co-owner and director of communications of the company - “I therefore wholeheartedly agreed to the idea of reviving such a significant and important piece by the great Achille Castiglioni.‎ Polet sums up and conveys all the main contents of our brand: it is a comfortable and functional armchair that also converts to a bed, offering a design with pure, decisive lines.‎ In particular it has a textile component, which can be interpreted with elegance and creativity, Twils-style.‎”
