Product description

The Lyra armchair appeared for the first time entirely in leather in the Poltrona Frau catalogue of 1934 as a variant of an earlier 1916 model with velvet cushion called Lira. Renzo Frau’s 1934 replica, with its rounded backrest refined with leather-covered pins, is also influenced by the formal traits of gentlemen’s clubs, smoking rooms and Victorian parlours with its deep seat, comfortable armrests and thick goose down cushion. However, the Lyra armchair gives them a more feminine feel thanks to its sinuous, graceful lines and compact dimensions. The supporting structure of the Lyra armchair is made from seasoned beechwood. The seat and backrest spring system consists of hand-tied steel biconical springs attached to jute belts. The padding is in rubberised horsehair, and in soft goose down for the seat cushion. The optional lumbar cushion, padded with goose down, provides additional comfort. The Lyra armchair is upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather or fabric and refined with leather-covered pins in the upper part of the backrest and on the back. Lyra is a numbered series with a 24kt gold-plated label.

Concept

Lyra made its debut as a full leather article in Poltrona Frau’s catalogue of 1935, as a variant of Lira, an earlier model (from 1916) that had a velvet cushion. The 1935 replica still sported a rounded seatback and finishing by means of a row of leather-covered nails, which were the formal traits of Victorian living room furniture, combined with the other comfort-making features of these armchairs: deep seat, comfortable arms, a plush cushion filled with goose down. The padding of rubberised horsehair is applied by hand onto the biconic steel springs of the seat and back springing. The structure is made of seasoned beech.
