Five decorative cushions are covered in fine 100% cotton velvet from the Pierre Frey “Fine Velvet Collection”. The Fine colour range is designed by India Mahdavi, well-known all over the world for her eclectic and elegant use of colour. Poltrona Frau chooses the Powder, Terracotta, Dijon, Fouger and Duck shades and combines them with five Pelle Frau® colours which are used to create thin piping along the edges of the cushions. The label sporting the company logo is also in Pelle Frau® leather.
Poltrona Frau has chosen 5 fabrics from the vast Jim Thompson range, covering different yarns, weaving techniques and patterns. The decorative cushions have 17th century oriental landscape designs printed in 8 colours. Floral motifs inspired by traditional Asian ceramics, in jacquard embroidery on silk satin. A very fine satin linen printed with handmade prints of the lion’s dance, a typical feature of Chinese New Year parades. Sophisticated patterns inspired by the Banyan tree in three wonderfully faded colours and the flowering of the Heliconia, a tropical plant that grew in the garden of the designer’s legendary Thai home, on a fine linen fabric embroidered with colourful viscose threads.
