Saratoga 1 armchair is designed in 1964 by Lella & Massimo Vignelli for Poltronova with wooden box frame finished in highly reflective polyester lacquer in black o white color, cushions padded in feather, removable cover in leather in classic Saratoga orange, black, gray or white colors.
The series is composed of an armchair and sofas with two, three or four seats. The rigid structure, made by assembling four parts of equal thickness, with rounded edges, contains slightly protruding seat cushions. The desired purity of the silhouette is accentuated by the precious finishes: glossy polyester lacquer for the chassis, similar to that of a pianoforte, and the fine leather of the soft cushions, resembling the upholstery in luxury automobiles. The Saratoga seat cushions, soft and comfortable to the eye and touch, have always been in goose down with removable leather upholstery, the tone of which in the original design is typical of the Jaguar interiors. The essential form combined with the precision of the design and the refinement of the finishes and details make this project by Lella and Massimo Vignelli timeless, over and above passing fashions, which they always avoided. The Saratoga series is one of the projects that well corresponds to the motto that the Vignelli spouses have made their ow: If you can’t find it, draw it yourself! Designed in ’64 to furnish their first New York home, they are seats to be placed free, in the center of the space, with a very elegant finish also on the back. This is an object that thanks to the previously unpublished polyester lacquer, expensive, very resistant and thicker than traditional painting, gives a distinctly architectural effect in aesthetics but does not make it less functional. Saratoga an icon of timeless luxury.
