About the collection

Sherazade

Sherazade is the outdoor textile programme inside Poltrona Frau's Boundless Living catalog, designed by Simona Cremascoli. Not a lounge or a dining family — rather a series of rugs and decorative cushions specified to finish a terrace, a portico or a pool deck. Each rug is built from polypropylene braid, machine-stitched into a flat woven panel; the cushions follow the same braid logic in smaller-format cuts.

The braid is UV-stable and machine-washable, the construction lies flat without anchoring, and the palette holds across an outdoor season in direct sun. Sherazade is the accessory line that ties a Solaria lounge to a Secret Garden dining table — woven floor and woven cushion, finishing the room.

Designer

Simona Cremascoli

Milanese designer with a long body of work in outdoor textiles, decorative objects and floor coverings. Her Sherazade rug — first developed for the indoor catalog — is one of Poltrona Frau's most quietly persistent accessory pieces; the outdoor reissue extends the same braid logic to UV-stable polypropylene.

Within Boundless Living, Cremascoli authors the Sherazade textile programme. Other Boundless Living collections are authored by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, Roberto Lazzeroni and GamFratesi.

About the Sherazade collection by Poltrona Frau

The Sherazade textiles & accessories sits within Poltrona Frau's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Poltrona Frau has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Sherazade is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Poltrona Frau's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Poltrona Frau's in-house design team.

Material and construction notes

Poltrona Frau's textiles & accessories pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Sherazade carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Poltrona Frau catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.

Specifying Sherazade in US trade projects

Pricing for Sherazade at US trade typically falls between on quote at US trade volumes, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery, or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified in US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant outdoor dining) and in premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.

Frequently asked specifier questions

What is the lead time for Sherazade?

Standard Sherazade configurations ship 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.

Is the Poltrona Frau Sherazade collection covered by trade pricing?

Yes. Poltrona Frau runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Sherazade is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Poltrona Frau non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.

Can Sherazade be specified with COM fabric or bespoke dimensions?

Most Poltrona Frau collections, including Sherazade, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.

Care, warranty, and US service life

Premium European outdoor pieces share a common care pattern: quarterly rinse with clean water and mild soap, twice-yearly inspection of cushions and fittings, and off-season storage of soft goods in freeze-thaw climates. Structural elements (aluminum, FSC teak, steel) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; fabrics and cushions 2-3 years against UV and stitching. US service life on European premium outdoor is typically 15-25 years on structural elements and 5-10 years on cushions, with COM refresh extending the cycle. Documentation and warranty registration are supplied with the invoice at the trade tier.
