The Helleu

As I have stated before I am a sucker for good chair design. I also love re-designs of older styles of chairs. This is obviously a directors chair, however, it is not the same directors chair that you would see all tattered up in a thrift store. This is the "Helleu" designed by Poltrona Frau. They refined this chair to be more elegant than the metal and fabric or wood normal director chairs. This chair is equipped with leather and steel, making this chair fit for use in a living room setting or in the work place. The design of this chair is very pure and decisive, with sharp lines. If you compare this to other director style chairs you can instantly notice how this chair looks more stable and comfortable. The frame is steel cladded with Dupont Corian, which is an advanced composite material delivering superior performance in functionality and aesthetics, it gives it a silk like touch. This is the directors chair of all director's chairs and is of a very well design. The leather and solid steel frame make this a favorite of mine.
