Poltrona Frau Indoor Living
Il Giorno / The Day
Real journeys,
imaginary journeys
What are we looking for when we travel?
Something different to measure ourselves
against, a challenge — big or small — to our
habits, and at the same time the thrill of
rediscovering, in that elsewhere, a small part
of ourselves, perhaps hidden or long forgotten.
It is precisely this subtle balance between the inside
and the outside, between the unknown and the familiar,
that Poltrona Frau seeks to explore with this catalogue.
A journey through places and environments, near and
far, that surprise and fascinate us — just as they have
inspired the writers and poets who reflect on them here.
Spaces we can inhabit, even if only for a moment,
with our imagination — just as we sometimes slip into
other lives while gazing at unknown faces through the
windows of a train or a bus. Because in all of these
environments, something speaks to us, resonates with
us, and somehow makes us feel “at home”: it’s the taste,
the harmony — or better yet, the soul of these interiors
— that welcomes us anywhere in the world with their
quiet elegance.
Places where it is beautiful to live, to dream, to return.
