Squash Armchair
DESIGNED BY Faye Toogood
FOR Poltrona Frau
The Squash armchair, with its generous and snug contours, is made with a rigid trestle frame made of polimex, which supports the large, soft cushioning upholstered in Pelle Frau or a combination of leather-fabric, with removable covering. The frame and legs are lightly padded, making them pleasant to the touch. The legs of the base are upholstered in leather. The seat and armrest cushioning are made of polyester wadding and differentiated-density polyurethane foam for greater comfort. The seat base is made of birch plywood.
The collection is comfortable and cozy right from the first glance. Exuberant and bold, yet gentle and reassuring forms interact with a mix of soft and rigid materials. The flowing contours and soft padding disrupt the static essence of formal furniture. Traditional English folk elements are reworked and combined with 1970s influences. Squash suggests a notion of simple, contemporary elegance based on unique objects that work well alone, together, or combined with other furnishings.
