About the Brand

Founded in Turin in 1912 by Renzo Frau, Poltrona Frau is the embodiment of Italian savoir-faire and refined elegance. The brand's name itself, a blend of "armchair" (poltrona) and the founder's surname, signals its deep-rooted purpose: to create the art of comfort and beauty. The soul of the brand, its indisputable hallmark, is the exceptional Pelle Frau® leather. This is not merely a material but a philosophy, honed over decades of expertise and artisanal craftsmanship. Each hide is meticulously selected and processed, resulting in a material that is velvety to the touch, rich in aroma, and designed to acquire even greater character over time. This mastery, termed "The Intelligence of Hands," makes every Poltrona Frau piece unique. From iconic designs like the Chester and Vanity Fair armchairs to contemporary collaborations with world-renowned designers such as Jean-Marie Massaud and Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, the Poltrona Frau collections bridge the past and the future. They merge aesthetic perfection with functionality, creating furniture that is not just an object but a legacy to be passed down through generations. Poltrona Frau extends its atelier's expertise across three core business units: "Residential Living" for private homes, "Custom Interiors" for prestigious public and private contract projects (auditoriums, hotels), and "In Motion" for high-end automotive, yachting, and aviation interiors. This immense scope demonstrates the brand's capacity to deliver unparalleled luxury and comfort in any environment. Today, with its "True Over Time" philosophy, Poltrona Frau underscores a commitment not only to enduring aesthetics but to sustainable and responsible design. It is a choice for objects that not only withstand the test of time but are created with respect for the world around them.
