Design as Craftsmanship and Timeless Elegance
An Italian designer and entrepreneur born in Cagliari in 1881, Renzo Frau is the founder of Poltrona Frau, one of the most prestigious companies in the Italian and international design scene. After military service and professional experience in the leather industry, Frau recognized the potential of classic Chesterfield armchairs during a trip to Great Britain and decided to reinterpret them with an elegant and refined style, establishing his own artisan workshop in Turin in 1912.

Frau's Vision
His vision combines craftsmanship, comfort, and exclusive style: each seat is born from meticulous leather craftsmanship and a profound knowledge of materials. Creations such as the historic "1919" armchair and iconic models like the Chester and Vanity Fair reflect a balance between tradition and innovation, transforming everyday objects into symbols of elegance and status. Renzo Frau made the Poltrona Frau brand a point of reference for high-end furniture, appreciated by prestigious clients and present in the most exclusive contexts worldwide.
