WELCOME
I say this with the benefit of hindsight, but if there’s
one thing the Covid-19 pandemic has taught us, it’s the
true value of home. By grounding us, both literally and
metaphorically, the virus gave us time to stop, reflect and
reassess. Instead of looking for adventure and fulfilment
far and wide, we sought solace and found safety in our
immediate environment: our homes. We discovered a
new appreciation for dining tables and meals shared with
loved ones, offices that seamlessly facilitated working from
home or outdoor spaces that allowed for communication
with mother nature.
The pandemic made us re-evaluate the way we live and
the things we prioritise, it made us take a fresh look at the
spaces we inhabit and by extension the things we choose
to surround ourselves with.
It’s against this unique backdrop that we designed our
latest collection of quality-led furniture. Of course, these
pieces fit within FRATO’s signature international aesthetic,
but they were also created with superior functionality and
liveability in mind. Thus, we produced one of our most
ambitious and flexible modular sofas to date; imagined
oversized mirrors that reflect as much daylight as possible;
designed several new desks to support remote working;
and brought to life a retro-futuristic armchair that incites
pure joy.
These and many more brand-new and desirable designs are
waiting to be discovered. We hope you love them as much
as we do.
