Nice Small Armchair

Nice chair by GamFratesi for Poltrona Frau

A small table armchair with a strong presence in the lunchroom.‎ Nice, designed by GamFratesi, exhibits a compact volume, with an organic and enveloping shape.‎ The designer seat consists of the two cases of the backrest and the shell that flex and overlap like two folded sheets, ensuring comfort and support for the body.‎

As they overlap, the two elements create a void in the rear part of the backrest which becomes a recognisable sign.‎ The intimate welcome offered by Nice is emphasized by the sensual softness of the upholstery in Pelle Frau® leather or fabric.‎ Both can also be combined with the saddle-leather provided on the external part of the backrest; upholstery whose tailored stitching, masterfully performed by Poltrona Frau's artisans, emphasizes the external profile in a strong silhouette.‎

Nice designed by GamFratesi for Poltrona Frau is a small armchair with moulded plastic seat shell padded with mouldedd polyurethane foam, and painted aluminum legs. The small armchair is upholstered in Pelle Frau leather or fabric.

Nice is a refined collection of small table armchairs designed by GamFratesi for the Poltrona Frau brand. The base is made up of 4 single trestle legs in die-cast aluminum, available in two finishes. The upholstery is made entirely of Pelle Frau® leather or fabric.

With its strong and recognizable character, the Nice chair envelops and welcomes with its soft backrest shell, cleverly superimposed on the seat, creating a void between the upper and lower parts. Nice ensures comfort and support for the body; it is functional to make full use of the dining room, and decorative, thanks to the covers and tailored stitching, masterfully executed by Poltrona Frau's craftsmen.

The four-leg metal base, available in burnished and titanium finishes, visually lightens the seat. Nice is designed to furnish refined private spaces, but is also perfect for luxurious hospitality areas, to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

design duo GamFratesi created the compact Nice chair for Italian brand Poltrona Frau, which is designed for maximum comfort.

Nice is a small table armchair that Poltrona Frau describes as having "a strong presence in the lunchroom".

The Nice chair is available with leather or fabric upholstery

It is formed from two curved elements, the shell and backrest, which slot into one another and overlap, leaving a small void at the rear that gives the chair a distinctive character.

The elements come together to create a chair that both looks inviting and offers comfort and support to the body.

The Nice chair is available with leather or fabric upholstery in a range of colours, and there is also the option of saddle leather for the backrest, which has tailored stitching and creates a strong silhouette.

The chair sits on slender metal legs as its base, giving it a visual lightness and modern sensibility.
