Meet the Maker
Poltrona Frau
Founded in 1912 and based in Tolentino, Poltrona Frau is one of Italy’s most storied furniture makers. From proprietary leathers to timber and textile, its atelier combines hand-finished techniques with architectural precision. Every piece reflects over a century of design culture—where craftsmanship, material rigour, and refined comfort quietly converge.
