A seating piece that has made
history for the company: the 1919
is a bergère armchair crafted in
capitonné leather, featured in the
catalogue for over a century.
A classic piece that, for a hundred
years, has embodied the very
essence of Poltrona Frau.
Spacious, comfortable, and inviting,
the 1919 leather armchair boasts a
classic, timeless design.The "1919
Ultime Notizie" version is the result
of a collaboration between Poltrona
Frau and Fornasetti, another brand
renowned worldwide for its unique
and timeless furnishings. Originally
created in 1950 by Piero Fornasetti,
the "Ultime Notizie" pattern has been
reimagined by his son Barnaba, who
infused it with new life and subtle
changes. It is a playful trompe-l'œil
that invites the viewer to an "active"
and imaginative perception: the leather
resembles paper, and the paper was
initially conceived to be printed on silk.
The visual lightness of the print is also
an invitation to conceptual lightness:
“Don’t dwell on the news, because the
news is volatile.
