Fornasetti x Poltrona Frau: A Celebration of Italian Craftsmanship
A remarkable collaboration has emerged between Poltrona Frau, a leading luxury furniture brand in Italy, and Fornasetti, a Milan-based creative design atelier. This partnership introduces two iconic pieces that redefine classic furniture design: the Armchair "1919" and the trunk-style drink cabinet "Isidoro". The designs reflect the artistry and craftsmanship that both brands are celebrated for, set to launch on March 12 at Poltrona Frau's Tokyo Aoyama store and on March 13 at the Osaka store in 2026.
A Timeless Design Legacy
Poltrona Frau has been synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship for decades, and the collaboration with Fornasetti brings a refreshing artistic perspective to their classic designs. The Armchair "1919", known for its elegance and comfort, represents a significant piece in Poltrona Frau’s historical lineup. Similarly, the Isidoro cabinet is not just a furniture item but an artistic object that enhances any space it occupies.
A prominent motif in this collection is "Ultime Notizie" (meaning "Latest News" in Italian), a quintessential design conceived by the renowned artist Piero Fornasetti in 1950. This motif features butterflies dancing over graphics reminiscent of newspaper clippings, creating a unique visual narrative marked by whimsical typography and illustrations that resonate with Fornasetti's enchanting and poetic viewpoint.
The Armchair "1919"
Historically crafted for the Duke of Savoy, a cigar aficionado, the Armchair "1919" showcases intricate craftsmanship through its pleated armrests, tufted backrest, and an inviting wingback shape. For this collaboration, the upholstery is made from Pelle Frau® leather printed with the "Ultime Notizie" motif. The amalgamation of classic design and contemporary art transforms this armchair into not just furniture, but a statement piece with an artful presence. Priced at ¥3,300,000, it’s an investment in aesthetic excellence.
The Drink Cabinet "Isidoro"
Designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, the Isidoro drink cabinet epitomizes elegance and utility. Its trunk-like structure opens like a book, with a sleek handle for smooth access. Inside, it offers shelves, drawers, and racks for bottles, merging functionality with beauty. The Isidoro cabinet features the same enchanting "Ultime Notizie" motif, delivering a touch of whimsy to any home bar setting. With a price tag of ¥6,160,000, it adds character and charm to any interior space.
The Art of Collaboration
The meeting of Poltrona Frau’s superb craftsmanship with Fornasetti’s artistic expressions has resulted in a collection that is nothing short of extraordinary. Each piece stands out not only for its functionality but also for its ability to evoke emotions and appreciation for high-quality artistry.
In addition to these flagship limited pieces, customers may find other Poltrona Frau products at IDC OTSUKA locations across Japan. The company’s commitment to bringing exceptional Italian design to the Japanese market is reflected in this beautiful collaboration.
