FlexformFlexform was founded in 1970, just as the "Italian Design" movement was taking off. The company's philosophy then, as it is now, can be best summed up by Ugo Volli: "The home is always an aesthetic gesture {...} so the objects that constitute it reflect the image of those who chose them. They are like self-portraits, one might say: by choosing them, we define our taste and thus our own identity."
Poltrona FrauRenzo Frau founded Poltrona Frau ('Frau Armchair’) in 1912, with a commitment to producing high quality handcrafted furniture.
The company’s patented ‘Pelle Frau’ is the result of several years of experimentation into production of the finest quality full grain leather. ‘Pelle Frau’ goes through a 21 step tanning process which allows for a tactile warmth & softness while maintaining contract grade durability. Poltrona Frau’s quality and leather expertise has been recognized by leaders in the automotive industry for their interiors.
