There are, of course, so many premium furniture brands that I love; however, Poltrona Frau always has a special place in my heart. It's so refined, polished, and timeless. For those who are new to Poltrona Frau, here's a brief description of the brand. Poltrona Frau is an Italian luxury furniture brand specializing in high-quality leather upholstery and exquisite craftsmanship.



**Sofas and Sectionals**



Poltrona Frau produces a variety of sofas and sectionals in different styles, sizes, and configurations. 



The Let it Be sectional is a quintessential Poltrona Frau design, distinguishable by the leather base and back shelf. 



The Happy Jack sectional is, as the name suggests, happy. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, the Happy Jack invites you to sit and relax, thanks to its soft and rounded arms. 



**Armchairs and Lounge Chairs** 



Poltrona Frau's collection includes a selection of armchairs and lounge chairs designed for comfort and style, featuring luxurious upholstery and ergonomic designs.



For instance, the Martha armchair by Roberto Lazzeroni combines comfort and lightness in design. Soft forms and contrasting materials create an airy, relaxed, and modern elegance. 



**Desks** 



Known for its expertise in leather upholstery and ergonomic design, Poltrona Frau manufactures home office desks that combine functionality with sophisticated aesthetics, which are suitable for even professional environments.



Whether a grand, executive desk or a compact, foldable desk suitable for a corner of your bedroom, Poltrona Frau's desks are meticulous in design and quality. 



It has cleverly designed bookshelves, as well, if you're serious about furnishing your home office or library. 



These can also be staged in living rooms and work as extra shelving for showcasing your decorative objects. 



**Dining**

While seating is the primary focus, Poltrona Frau also offers a selection of tables and desks crafted with the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail as its seating furniture.



Additionally, Poltrona Frau provides a range of accessories such as cushions, rugs, bookcases, and small furniture items to complete interior design schemes. 



For instance, take a look at the Albero Bookcase, an exquisite fusion of form and function. Inspired by the timeless beauty of nature, the Albero Bookcase embodies the essence of Italian craftsmanship and design excellence.



It features a sturdy framework constructed from premium materials, ensuring both durability and elegance. The hallmark of the Albero Bookcase lies in its versatility.

Designed to seamlessly integrate into any interior setting, this piece offers ample storage space for your literary treasures, artful displays, and cherished mementos. Its adjustable shelving allows for customizable configurations, accommodating items of varying sizes with ease.



Overall, Poltrona Frau's furniture offerings cater to various tastes and preferences, embodying luxury, elegance, and timeless design.



I must highlight the brand's harmonious use of leather. Many Poltrona Frau pieces incorporate leather into their designs, and such utilization is a defining feature of Poltrona Frau's design. 

The brand is renowned for its use of premium materials, particularly high-quality leather. In fact, as soon as you step into a Poltrona Frau showroom, you are greeted by this rich leather scent - the luxury new car smell is an accurate description of what the showroom smells like. 



Poltrona Frau has an in-house design studio with all the samples of its leather and colors - I believe "only" 85 finishes, ha!  



Poltrona Frau's leather upholstery is sourced from the finest hides and undergoes a meticulous tanning process to achieve a luxurious feel and durability. 



This miniature Archibald in bright, vivid yellow leather always lifts my mood. 



With over a century of history, Poltrona Frau has established itself as a symbol of Italian design excellence and heritage. Its commitment to quality and tradition has garnered it a loyal following worldwide. Overall, Poltrona Frau's furniture stands out for its combination of craftsmanship, materials, design, and heritage, making it a sought-after choice for discerning consumers seeking luxury furnishings.
