Frau Fumoir Armchair

The "Fumoir" armchair, designed by Renzo Frau for Poltrona Frau in the 1920s, is one of the most iconic examples of classic Italian design. This historic model, inspired by 18th-century low-back tub chairs, was created to offer an upright and comfortable seating position, ideal for conversation or waiting. It is a piece that tells the story of Italian bourgeois taste and the extraordinary craftsmanship that has made the Poltrona Frau brand famous worldwide. The model presented here, crafted in English red Frau leather, perfectly represents the balance between elegance and functionality. The lack of a cushion and its compact shape give the Fumoir a refined and discreet presence, suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors. The understated design, combined with balanced proportions, reflects Renzo Frau's vision, which combined sartorial tradition with functional modernity. The armchair is in excellent overall condition: the frame is solid, the padding maintains its firmness and comfort, and the leather upholstery—authentic and of the highest quality—is intact, free of tears or unstitching. Only minor signs of use testify to its age-old charm, with a natural patina that enhances the piece's vintage character. The metal label and original Frau identification tag are present. Founded in 1912 by Renzo Frau, the company is a symbol of Made in Italy excellence: quality materials, craftsmanship, and uncompromising comfort.
