Giobagnara x Poltrona Frau Leather Card Pochette
A deck of cards deserves rather better than a drawer. The Leather Card Pochette from the Giobagnara x Poltrona Frau Games Collection keeps a deck of Giobagnara playing cards in Pelle Frau® ColorSphere® leather, closed by a discreet magnetic fastening. It comes in four colours and is every bit as pleasant to give as to receive.
An accessory of quiet distinction
Some objects one simply uses; others one is pleased to own. The Leather Card Pochette belongs firmly in the second category. It gives a deck of Giobagnara playing cards a fitting home, and it does so with the composure one would expect from two houses that have devoted many years to the art of leather.
The pochette is made in Pelle Frau® ColorSphere® leather, with an internal lining and a magnetic closure that keeps the cards precisely where they were left. It may rest on a library table, accompany an evening of bridge or travel to a country house for the weekend; in each case, it brings a certain poise to the occasion.
Two Italian houses, one shared standard
Poltrona Frau was founded in Turin in 1912 by Renzo Frau and has stood for the elegance and precision of Italian design for more than a century. Giobagnara, established in 1999, swiftly earned a reputation for expert leather workmanship. In the Games Collection, the two houses reinterpret the most beloved games with a contemporary aesthetic and turn them into true collector's pieces.
Pelle Frau® ColorSphere® leather
Pelle Frau® is Poltrona Frau's own trademarked leather, developed at the company's research and development centre. The ColorSphere® palette, introduced in 2020 in consultation with the colourist and textile designer Giulio Ridolfo, was conceived as a design tool in its own right, so that colours and materials may be combined harmoniously throughout an interior. The pochette therefore looks entirely at home beside a Poltrona Frau armchair, on a writing desk or in a well-appointed games room.
Colour versions
The pochette is available in four colour versions:
Charme: SC 146 Coccio Pesto, a warm terracotta
Sea: SC 276 Mineral Blue, a deep mineral blue
Chalet: SC 66 India, a warm tan brown
Urban: SC 34 Maggese, an earthy, understated tone
Presented with care
Each pochette is placed in a cotton bag bearing the Giobagnara x Poltrona Frau name and then in a blue branded box, together with the warranty certificate. It therefore arrives ready to be given, and the giver need not trouble with wrapping paper.
