Brand: Poltrona Frau

A sofa which is also a chaise-lounge, a welcoming and comfortable nest. The Scarlett steals the show, its eye-catching circular form an invitation to relax. A project very much in line with Jean-Marie Massaud’s style, the Scarlett combines architectural geometries with full and soft volumes.

The piece is surrounded by a brushed and burnished steel ring which supports a system of Cuoio Saddle Extra leather straps. The straps create a frame which functions both as a backrest and armrest in an elegant lattice which hosts the padded goose down and polyurethane foam seat. Goose down is also used in the backrest cushions, which in turn are liberally covered with loose square and rectangular cushions. All of the cushions are upholstered in fabric or Pelle Frau® leather.

The seat’s frame is made of solid beech wood. The Scarlett also features eight castors which allow the sofa to rotate through 360°.
