POLTRONA FRAU | LEICA
Poltrona Frau and Leica
The Art of Home Cinema. Elevated.
Driven by the technological evolution of audio-video systems and the increasing desire to enhance the home viewing experience, there is a growing need to meet new living space requirements through both aesthetic design and cutting-edge technology.
With a new version of the Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet, Leica Camera and Poltrona Frau jointly developed an elevated home cinema experience with refined elegance and innovation.
The shelf is customised to hold the Leica Cine 1 high-definition smart laser TV which, when extracted, positions itself at the correct projection distance. The motorised projection screen is completely concealed in the top of the cabinet. It extends when the Cine 1 is switched on and retracts automatically when it is switched off, returning the cabinet to its original appearance. The supporting structure of the Fidelio cabinet is made of birch plywood, solid ash and MDF panels; the cabinet top is made of birch plywood trimmed with solid ash. The entire item is covered in Moka-stained.
The top features a door that conceals the 100" rising projection screen. The drawer fronts in birch plywood, trimmed with Moka-stained ash veneer, are covered in Cuoio Saddle leather as are the cabinet sides, with an option for tone-on-tone or contrasting stitching. The console cabinet is also equipped with a cable channel for connecting electronic devices, accessible via a rear-placed removable bottom panel. The blade-shaped in solid ash wood feet are positioned centrally under the two side drawers, accentuating the visual sensation of openness and lightness.
Expertise and innovation in every detail
The Leica Cine 1 sets new standards in cinema TV with its brilliant 4K picture quality, triple RGB laser technology and impressive Dolby Atmos® surround sound. Thanks to its ultra-short distance lens, the Cine 1 can be integrated into the room to save space, while its elegant aluminium housing reflects the classic Leica look.
