Archibald Armchair
-
Product Description
Archibald is the spot you gravitate to at the end of the day when everything else has gone wrong and only a glass of whisky and a sit down will do. It's entire being, from the delicate leather folds to the hugging armrests, has been designed to soothe — an indulgent island for one. Designed by legendary French architect, Jean-Marie Massaud, it boasts generous proportions without ever losing its elegance. A true objet de art if you ask us.
Thanks to its widespread popularity, the Archibald Armchair is now available in a wide range of sizes and finishes. If you're unable to find what you're looking for online, do hop on Live Chat or give our showroom a bell, where our design team will be able to share even more options with you.
Materials & Finishes
Our furniture looks good from every angle. Peruse the details here…
Base: The cast aluminium feet are meticulously crafted and connected to a tubular steel frame, available in two luxurious finishes: gunmetal grey and an exclusive blasted, burnished finish.
Upholstery: The Archibald Armchair is available online in Poltrona Frau's exclusive Pelle Frau leather collection. The enveloping design is exalted by the free play of folds that the leather creates across the internal part of the backrest, making it pleasantly undulating. Meanwhile, the precious contrasting stitching along the seams and on the external surfaces of the upholstery creates a refined elegance. Still not sure which leather is for you? Here's some more details:
ColourSphere Leather: The ColourSphere collection is Poltrona Frau's boldest yet. It features 73 nuanced shades and is ideal for those who enjoy the joyful vocabulary of colour. (Please note that we only show a selection online in the custom options. The full range can be ordered via our showroom). It is a highly resistant leather, balanced by gentle surface dressing treatments that ensure easy maintenance and excellent performance.
Nest Leather: A leather that combines extraordinary softness with the richness and solidity of its texture. Its full radiant colours are the result of special dyeing in oak drums, which allows the pigments to be naturally absorbed. Accidental stains may not be removable. For cleaning we recommend using just a slightly damp, soft, white cloth and drying with a soft dry cloth. We recommend removing dust frequently using a dry, non-abrasive, white cloth. For best care of the upholstery, we recommend periodic use, two or three times a year, of the “Elisir di Lunga Vita" kit, available at Poltrona Frau dealers and showrooms. In case of ink stains on the leather, use the ink remover, massaging the product on the stain and carefully remove it using a dry, non-abrasive, white cloth. Alcohol or other solvents should never be used.
Soul Leather: Pelle Frau® Soul leather is a full grain leather dyed with aniline and oils, and with no surface finish. This workmanship aims to fully enhance the appearance and softness of the material. The dyed-through colours are achieved with drum dyeing, a process that creates a natural clouding and preserves the uneven texture. Accidental stains cannot be removed from this particularly delicate leather. We recommend removing dust frequently using a dry, non-abrasive, white cloth. For cleaning, only a slightly damp, soft, white cloth must be used, followed by drying with a soft dry cloth. Alcohol or other solvents must never be used.
