Downtown
Jean-Marie Massaud creates the Downtown office chair, combining ergonomics, technique and
timeless elegance. The result is an extremely comfortable chair from both an aesthetic and functional
point of view.
Downtown steers clear of all rigid schemata. The sensuality of the design is a distinctive feature of
Jean-Marie Massaud's work and is enhanced by the touch of the leather, hand-processed by the
Poltrona Frau craftsmen.
The geometries of the back of the Downtown alternate broken lines with rounded lines. The armrests
and the backrest are separate but almost appear to touch as if embracing you with their dynamic
lightness.
The President, Executive and Managerial models are all equipped with a sophisticated mechanism that
enables you to set the backrest to 5 different positions and adjust the degree to which the seat can
turn. The 5-spoke aluminium base has a polished or black lacquered finish and is complete with soft,
self-braking swivel castors.
The differentiated-density polyurethane foam padding of the armchair is very comfortable, perfectly
supporting all parts of the body.
Upon request, the upholstery in Pelle Frau® leather from the Color System can be produced from
micro-perforated leather on the inside of the backrest and the armrests and on the seat cushion.
Micro-perforated material, used by Poltrona Frau for car interiors, has breathable properties that make
the Downtown even more comfortable. The stitching on the leather is ton-sur-ton.
