Poltrona Frau’s distinctiveness lies in the precision of its craftsmanship and its commitment to legacy materials. Each piece is handmade in Tolentino, Italy, using techniques such as traditional saddle stitching and seamless upholstery. Its signature Pelle Frau® leather undergoes a 21-step tanning and finishing process, resulting in a buttery-soft texture and luminous, evolving patina. Advanced ergonomic research is woven into every design, ensuring that sculptural forms also deliver uncompromising comfort. From hand-shaped wooden frames to tonal double stitching, every detail is evidence of artisan mastery—a fusion of beauty, durability, and Italian design intelligence.
Every piece of Poltrona Frau furniture is handcrafted in Tolentino, a town in Italy’s Marche region with a deep-rooted tradition in leatherworking. Within these heritage workshops, master craftspeople blend historic saddle-making techniques with modern precision engineering—creating furniture that reflects over a century of artisanal excellence. From the initial cutting of hides to the final polishing of each contour, the process is overseen by specialists who understand that true luxury lies in invisible details. This dedication to slow craftsmanship ensures that each item carries the unmistakable signature of Italian artistry.
