Poltrona Frau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poltrona Frau is an Italian furniture maker located in Turin, Italy. They are recognized as designing chairs that are both modern and contemporary, using leather on most of their products. They have designed interiors for Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lancia, and Infiniti. Poltrona Frau leather is also used by Audi, Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Maserati, Lexus, and Mini Cooper as well as Fiat 500 (2007).[1] The new top of line Chrysler 300 Luxury Series features also Poltrona Frau interior.[2] In addition, Poltrona Frau seating was used for the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles CA.[1]

From the company's website introducing themselves.

"Since 1912, the general public has always and immediately associated the name Frau with the idea of quality and design furnishing and seating in particular. A name that is so characteristic and instantly linked to German sounds, but which is, in fact, simply that of the company’s founder, Sardinian-born Renzo Frau, who, over time, has successfully taken the 'Made in Italy’ style and quality beyond national confines. There have been a great many important moments in the history of Poltrona Frau, and they have all contributed in some way to creating the legend of this company that was founded in Turin and is today a citizen of the world."

In 2013, it was announced that the company will produce 600 seats for the Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil. It will be the first time the Italian company Frau produce seats for a football stadium.[3]
