The Montera series designed by Roberto Lazzeroni has a formal lightness that expresses the sensory charm of its materials: the raw cut processing exalts the tactility of the saddle-leather and leather which, combined together, complement each other perfectly; the light stitching on the backrest forms a smile.
Montera is a chair, an armchair, a stool of two different heights, a column stool and a stackable chair. The same materials and finishes are used in every item of the collection. First and foremost the original upholstery of the shell, which combines Pelle Frau® leather on the inside with Cuoio Saddle Extra leather on the outside, with contrast stitching around the edges. A version entirely upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather is also available. In this case the stitching has tone-on-tone thread. For all elements in the Montera series the shell is produced from moulded steam-curved and -pressed beech plywood. Polyurethane foam padding. The legs of the Montera chair, armchair and h 66 and h 74 stools are in solid ash wood with a wenge or moka stain, with black nylon spacers. The Montera stackable chair has a 4-legged steel base in the evocative blasted and burnished finish which gives new warmth to the metal. This is also upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather and a two-tone version is also available on request. The Montera stool, with column base in chrome steel, is made up of a four-bracket cross plate, a column, a footrest and a round plate. The cross plate fixes the shell to the base. The tubular footrest is knurled with a diamond motif. The upper part of the column, above the footrest, is upholstered with saddle-leather or leather to match the upholstery of the shell. Felt pads protect the floor.
Base in stained ash. Upholstery in a range of leather colours. Contact us for more information.
Roberto Lazzeroni lives and works in his home town of Pisa. After completing studies in art and architecture in Florence, he chose conceptual art as his focus began creating work that had a more radical approach to design. In the early 1980s he took commission in both industrial and interior design, a specialisation he defines as fundamental to his overall practice. Today Roberto works in the business of design, art directing and shaping corporate identity. His studio is directly responsible for every aspect linked to the birth and development of a firm. At the same time he is also developing new furniture designs for the leading manufacturers in Europe, including Poltrona Frau.
