POLTRONA FRAU
Renzo Frau founded Poltrona Frau in Turin in 1912.
In the 30’s it was already a status symbol. From 1926
it was appointed supplier of the Italian Royal Family,
the Savoia dynasty. From then on, it will furnish all
the most important houses, grand hotels, the interiors
for Expo Turin 1928, and the lavish transatlantic Rex,
pride of the Italian Navy.
Poltrona Frau's mission is to create understated and
elegant objects inspired by tradition and projected
into the future to provide global living solutions,
develop custom interiors for private and public spaces,
and luxury travel interiors to meet the emotional
and aspirational needs in a sustainable fashion for a
sophisticated international clientele.
The brand is globally recognized as the undisputed
excellence in sustainably crafting leather upholstered
objects for homes and public spaces, as well as luxury
travel interiors, boasting a position on the international
market as the ultimate aspirational Brand.
Poltrona Frau encompasses excellent handcraft,
high quality materials, aesthetic sensibility and great
reliability of services engaging customers through
physical and digital channels.
Each material from the brand's catalogue is carefully
selected and sourced based on technical, functional
and emotional characteristics to ensure every product
is durable, optimized in weight and manufactured
with advanced processes that are sustainable for the
environment and long lasting for the customer. Thanks
to these exclusive technological processes and special
fnishes make these materials “proprietary” that are
unique to Poltrona Frau.
