Poltrona Frau

In 1912 Renzo Frau transformed a seat cover into an international passport to success. Since then Pelle Frau leather has been the key ingredient in a unique global story of historic values and contemporary moods, elegance, comfort and prestige. 

Poltrona Frau has been refining its sophisticated expertise in hand-crafted workmanship through over 100 years of history. This expertise, perfected through time, continues to be passed down by master craftsmen from generation to generation. Today, as in the past, this heritage of knowledge and skill is captured within each piece of Poltrona Frau furniture. The intimate and timeless elegance, the personality of each individual piece, are the fruit of the craftsman's skill and a design that enhances hand-crafted workmanship even in the most modern forms. Here at Poltrona Frau the great classics, such as Vanity Fair and Chester, sit freely alongside contemporary forms and furnishing.

In collaboration with famous designers, such as Michele De Lucchi, Pierluigi Cerri, Roberto Lazzeroni, Rodolfo Dordoni, Jean-Marie Massaud, Emilio Ambasz, the research into elegant and comfortable shapes, from home furniture continues in the work space that Poltrona Frau interprets with exclusive furnishing combining practicality, style and ergonomics.

For the contract sector Poltrona Frau develops and creates projects all over the world alongside architects like Jean Nouvel, Norman Foster, Richard Meier: from the Palau Reina Sofia in Valencia, to the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the European Parliament  in Strasbourg and the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome just to name a few.

The Interiors in Motion division designed the contemporary traveller's habitats with the same attention to quality and manufacturing details. Ferrari, Maserati, Japan Airlines, Etihad, Pershing are just some brands who rely on Poltrona Frau making it an international point of reference for luxorious comfort.
