Composed with sculptural restraint, the Assaya swivel armchair by Poltrona Frau reflects designer Satyendra Pakhalé’s pursuit of comfort through cultural nuance. Its enveloping shell—named from the Marathi word for “reflection”—traces a quiet arc of movement, equally at home in residential lounges or executive interiors.

Upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather or refined fabric, the design rests on a discreet swivel base that enables fluid transitions without disrupting its poised silhouette. Expertly tailored stitching accentuates the armchair’s form, while multi-density padding ensures enduring support. A synthesis of functionality and elegance, Assaya embodies the evolving rhythm of contemporary living.
