Downtown Visitor Swivel Chair Poltrona Frau

Downtown is an office swivel chair designed by Jean-Marie Massaud for Poltrona Frau available in five versions: President, Executive, Managerial, Meeting e Visitor. The seat, armrest and backrest structure is created from moulded polyurethane foam with a metal insert. Padded with polyurethane foam with different densities for the greatest comfort zones and with a polyester wadding quilted covering. The upholstery, embellished with tone-on-tone or contrast stitching, is made with Pelle Frau® leather from the Color System, and is also available in a version with micro-perforations on the inner surface of the backrest, armrests and cushion.

In the President, Executive, Managerial and Meeting versions, the five-spoke resting base, available in either polished aluminium or with a black finish, is fitted with soft, self-blocking “W” type wheels that adapt to all types of flooring. The Visitor version has a 4-spoke base with swivel plastic glides that are, on request, also available for the other versions. The President, Executive and Managerial versions are height adjustable and rotate by pulling the lever beneath the seat on the right. The “Syncron” turning mechanism for the seat and backrest allows the armchair to easily accompany the body’s movements, thereby guaranteeing extraordinary comfort. The armchair’s mechanism allows it to be locked into 4 different positions. To turn, sit on the chair and pull the lever beneath the seat on the left-hand side, pushing back on the backrest to unblock the chair. Use the knob located in the centre, underneath the seat, to adjust turning strength: by turning clockwise, resistance increases and by turning anti-clockwise it will lessen. To block the backrest in the desired position, press the left-hand lever once again. A thrust-bearing mechanism allows Downtown Meeting to rotate around its axis. Downtown Visitor is fitted with an automatic return rotation mechanism provided by a resistant bearing, which allows the armchair to rotate and return to its original position.
