Unique Modern Design Icons: Poltrona Frau

With a heritage built on impeccable craftsmanship and a forward-thinking approach to style, Poltrona Frau continues to blur the lines between high fashion, modern comfort, and classic elegance.

Poltrona Frau Contemporary Collection
Three exceptional new launches that speak to a new generation of discerning tastemakers.

The Italian brand Poltrona Frau has always been at the forefront of creating furniture that is both timeless and of its moment. Their latest collection unveils three exceptional new launches that are more than just pieces of furniture—they are statements. By merging tactile innovation with structural grace, the brand invites a dialogue between the artisanal past and the sophisticated present.

The Archibald Denim Edition

The iconic Archibald armchair, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, receives a spirited makeover with the new Denim Edition. This piece is a confident nod to urban sophistication, upholstered in a certified organic cotton jacquard fabric named Everdenim. Its distinctive twill texture and slubbed warp mimic the soft, lived-in feel of a favourite pair of stone-washed jeans.

The chair's refined Navy Blue hue is punctuated by bold double yellow topstitching and a new antique bronze finish on the base, drawing a direct parallel to the metallic hardware on classic denim. The back is finished with a hot-stamped Camel-colored leather label, an intimate detail bearing the phrase: "Archibald Denim Edition. Unique, like you."

Volare Due: An Evolution of Repose

For the private sanctuary, the new Volare Due bed, an evolution of Roberto Lazzeroni's original design, reinterprets the classic four-poster with a quiet architectural grace. Its minimalist form creates a sense of lightness, a "suspended interplay" of exquisite materials. The headboard's internal crossbars are made of birch plywood, while the bed frame and footboard are constructed from tulipwood, ensuring absolute durability and stability.

The headboard, made of solid ash with a subtle triangular profile, serves as the anchor from which two inviting, plump cushions hang. Crafted from a refined mix of solid wood, Pelle Frau® leather, and Saddle Extra leather, the Volare Due embodies a century-old expertise in celebrating the art of rest.

Parka: Casual Luxury Reimagined

The design duo Draga & Aurel channel a sense of casual luxury with the Parka modular sofa and ottoman. This collection is an homage to the classic '90s streetwear jacket, celebrated for its bold versatility. Much like its namesake, the Parka sofa is a "passe-partout" piece, with generous, soft volumes that extend all the way to the floor, promising enveloping comfort.

It is unique in its gradually curved backrest that flows seamlessly into the armrests, creating a bold yet welcoming shape. Available in full Pelle Frau® leather or a rich combination of leather and fabric with tone-on-tone stitching, the Parka collection is the perfect expression of an effortless, personal style.
