Книжкова шафа Poltrona Frau REN

The series of REN accessories has grown.‎ A bookcase, magazine rack and table mirror expand the functions of the collection.‎ The underlying theme is still the “ren” symbol, which shapes the sides of the various accessories.‎
As with the rest of the collection, the supporting structure is in solid Canaletto walnut.‎ The joints between the upper crosspiece and the sides are decorated, internally, by brass elements.‎
The new accessories also communicate a sensation of intimate elegance.‎ Small, light architectures are made up of ingenious suspensions, clever balances, and simple joints inspired by an oriental concept of spaces and design.‎ They are produced using fine materials and artisan techniques inextricably linked with the Poltrona Frau tradition.‎
The magazine rack is a sheet of Cuoio Saddle Extra leather attached to the upper wooden crosspiece by two brushed steel bars with brass finish, to become an elegant and tactile container.‎
The bookcase is a graphical weave of lines.‎ The two lateral uprights, slightly inclined, support the birch plywood shelves, upholstered in Cuoio Saddle Extra leather and with a Canaletto Walnut veneer on the sides.‎
The upper crosspiece is fixed to the wall using metal hooks with a natural brass finish.‎ The bookcase comes in a low version with a round multi-purpose tray upholstered in Cuoio Saddle Extra leather hanging from the upper crosspiece, and in a tall version.‎ Both variants can be completed with bookends in brushed steel with a natural brass finish.‎
The table mirror consists of a round element (310 mm in diameter) supported by two lateral uprights and two crosspieces.‎ The internal surface of the mirror frame, upholstered in Cuoio Saddle Extra leather, is decorated with a brass band.‎

The collection takes the name of the Chinese “ren” ideogram, which means person.‎ From the birth of the language, this symbol appeared on ancient Chinese oracle bones used for divination.‎ Two simple strokes constitute a pictographic representation of the human figure.‎ The longer stroke sticks out slightly and is supported by the shorter stroke.‎ The two elements depend on each other for their stability, a relationship that perfectly represents the architectural construction of each item in the collection.‎ Each piece consists of two “ren”, which make up the main structure in Canaletto walnut solid wood and together support the secondary structures, also in wood.‎ The functional elements that form part of the structures have softer and more curved forms, which are elegantly upholstered in Cuoio Saddle Extra leather.‎ The brass details add a precious touch to the design.‎
The collection includes a series of accessories and is now expanded to include a small armchair and sofa, a bookcase, magazine rack and table mirror.‎ A wealth of objects offering a coherent definition of the various spaces of the home
