Poltrona Frau and Winch Design work in collaboration on the new Collezione La Selle, which features two new pieces. This includes a dining chair and a lounge chair -- both of which are made with a slatted walnut framing complete with premium saddle hide leather, and cushions that are in an upholstery leather. The design of the chairs is inspired by the English heritage, Windsor chair shapes, and traditional saddlery.
Speaking about the new furniture, Michael Noah, Winch Design's Senior furniture and product design lead states that “The design is timeless. The shapes are characterized by the softest leather, moulded and sewn to give a tailored look, and allowing them to acquire character through use and aging. The seats reflect the innovative study and careful consideration of ergonomics, comfort, and the longevity of products that characterizes our studio."
