The exclusive collaboration between the Poltrona Frau Custom Interiors division and the London-based studio Winch Design (specialized in various creative disciplines and particularly active in nautical interior design) has produced the La Selle seating: a lounge chair and a dining chair inspired by English saddlery. Comfortable and elegant, the chairs rely on the contrast between the organic structure in curved wooden staves and the cowhide shell that folds to wrap the seating in a game of full and empty zones. There are many references to English culture – from the classic Windsor chairs to the accessories for riding, including stitching, straps, and the lateral pocket – which La Selle interprets in a contemporary way.
