Poltrona Frau

Poltrona Frau – Italian Mastery in Leather Design
Founded in 1912 in Turin by Renzo Frau, the company takes its name from “poltrona,” a symbol of comfort, and from the surname of its founder. In the late 1920s, it became the official supplier to the House of Savoy, creating seats for the Italian Parliament and luxury transatlantic liners.

In the 1960s, under the management of Franco Moschini, the company moved to Tolentino (Marche) and began collaborating with famous designers such as Gio Ponti, Luigi Massoni, Achille Castiglioni, Marco Zanuso, Renzo Piano and many others.

Today Poltrona Frau is part of the American group Haworth Inc., while preserving its Made in Italy artisanal DNA and a turnover that in 2022 exceeded 200 million euros.
