Poltrona Frau has been a leader in the world of Made in Italy furnishings since 1912, and since then has evolved into a global brand with three distinct business units that exist to craft unique design solutions for living life’s most memorable moments. The heart of operations is in Tolentino, in the Marche region of Italy and is at the forefront of environmental sustainability with numerous international certifications.
The Residential Living Business Unit values artistic aptitude and meticulous construction, using only the highest-quality noble materials, like Pelle Frau® leather, for high-end products, accessories and complements for indoor, outdoor and office. The search for style has led Poltrona Frau to create classic pieces that express a unique elegance that is as universal as it is intimate and personal, from Chester and Vanity Fair, designed by company founder Renzo Frau, to Dezza by Giò Ponti and Titano, a project by Pierluigi Cerri that won the brand its first Compasso d'Oro industrial design award. The brand today collaborates with international designers including Faye Toogood, Jean-Marie Massaud, Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba, Roberto Lazzeroni, GamFratesi, Sebastien Herkner and Neri&Hu.
The Custom Interiors Business Unit focuses on creating purpose-designed contract solutions for auditoriums, theatres, airports, public spaces, offices, retail showrooms, hotels and the marine sector, working closely with the very best names in architecture and international design. With a roster of over 5000 custom projects around the world, it has been chosen by the likes of Renzo Piano, Foster+Partners Industrial Design, Frank 0. Gehry, Jean Nouvel, Zaha Hadid Studio and David Chipperfield to bring to life many of the world’s most iconic design projects.
Founded in 1985, the In Motion Business Unit extends Poltrona Frau’s expertise beyond residential spaces, specializing in luxury automotive, aviation, rail, and yachting interiors. With production facilities in Tolentino, Montegranaro (Marche Region), and Coventry (UK)—following the acquisition of KJ Ryan—it leverages a global presence to enhance its offerings. Through continuous innovation in materials, technology, and processes, it seamlessly blends craftsmanship with advanced design and supply chain management. As a tier-1 supplier, it collaborates with top luxury brands, including Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Lucid Motors, Etihad Airways, Singapore Airlines, Riva, and Wally.
