To emphasize the chromatic vibe of the surface, the base, characterised by four die-cast aluminium feet and a steel frame, has a multicolour chrome finish: a special iridescent paint treatment in colours and light, which gives a brilliant purplish-blue shade. A brass plaque, in the same finish as the base, bears the artist’s signature and the words “ONE OF 110”. In addition, every Archibald Limited Anniversary Edition comes with a specific cleaning kit and an exclusive clutch, made in the same multicoloured leather as the upholstery and containing the certificate of authenticity of the product signed by the artist.
To celebrate this special collaboration, Archibald Limited Anniversary Edition is also available in a miniature size, still upholstered in the same Pelle Frau® ColorSphere® Impact Less leather and made with the same care and attention to detail as the original version.
Made in just 110 pieces to celebrate Poltrona Frau’s 110th anniversary, the Archibald Limited Anniversary Edition is a new interpretation of the iconic Archibald armchair by the visual artist Felipe Pantone. It is an unexpected blend of Poltrona Frau’s heritage and manual expertise and the Argentine-Spanish street artist’s optical and digital language, vibrant with colours. Inspired by the ColorSphere® palette, Felipe Pantone creates a pattern that blurs the contours and brings the leather surface of the armchair to life. The simple balance of form and the timeless elegance of Archibald are transposed into an ultramodern style.
