Du 55 Armchair

Du 55 Armchair

DESIGNED BY Gastone Rinaldi
FOR Poltrona Frau

Poltrona Frau revisits the work of a forgotten genius of design to introduce a 1950’s icon to the contemporary panorama. 

The rounded geometries, the study of the thicknesses and padding, and the relationship between full and empty spaces led Gastone Rinaldi to design a chair with a strong personality.

It communicates coherence, completeness and elegance straight away. The curved shell and sleek feet are a guarantee of the stability and comfort of this relaxing and welcoming chair.
