Inspired by the wine-growing landscapes of southern Brazil, the Poltrona Blanc pays tribute to Blanc de Blancs sparkling wines, crafted exclusively from white grapes that symbolize purity and celebration. Its organic silhouette, upholstered in light leather, evokes the delicacy of the fruit, while the sculpted armrests in solid Tauari wood recall the twisted trunks of the vines, with bold angles and facets that express the raw strength of nature reinterpreted through contemporary design.
The leather upholstery is precisely laser-cut to follow the organic movement of the piece, while double-stitched seams refine the finishing, enhancing every detail of comfort and high-end craftsmanship. Blanc embodies the balance between softness and strength, tradition and innovation. Beyond its function as seating, it becomes an emblematic piece that merges materiality and poetry, offering both comfort and sophistication. With its harmonious dialogue between craftsmanship, cultural identity, and sculptural form, the Poltrona Blanc transcends utility to affirm design as an agent of experience and emotional connection.
