ICONIC ITALIAN DESIGN MEETS DENIM || The New Poltrona Frau Archibald Armchair Denim Edition
The world of fashion and interior design has always been closely intertwined, constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity, style, and innovation.
Poltrona Frau, known for its impeccable craftsmanship and timeless elegance, now brings the sartorial charm of denim into the realm of high-end furniture with the new Archibald Denim Edition. A seamless blend of urbane cool and sophistication, this iconic armchair, originally designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, takes on a fresh, contemporary look with its innovative use of denim.
Celebrated for its sleek lines and enveloping comfort, the Archibald armchair has long been a symbol of modern luxury. This latest iteration, however, imbues the design with a laid-back yet refined edge, capturing the essence of one of the most beloved fabrics in fashion—denim. The Archibald Denim Edition, available exclusively through Poltrona Frau’s online store, is poised to become a design must-have, marrying fashion with the art of furniture making in a way that feels both fresh and timeless.
The Archibald Denim Edition, where timeless Italian craftsmanship meets the rugged charm of denim.
Denim, a fabric once worn by workers in the American West, has become a universal symbol of style and versatility over the last 150 years. Its rugged appeal and effortless charm have allowed it to transcend time and trends. Poltrona Frau pays homage to this heritage through a carefully crafted interpretation of their iconic chair. Wrapped in Ever-Denim, a jacquard fabric made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, the Archibald features a distinct indigo hue, enhanced by a slub warp that mimics the texture of stone-washed denim. This unique material, chosen for its durability and elegance, undergoes a specialized wash process, ensuring its suitability for upholstery while maintaining the signature diagonal twill of classic denim garments.
Poltrona Frau takes the denim aesthetic even further with intricate top stitching along the chair's contours. Double rows of stitches, reminiscent of those found on a pair of well-worn jeans, accentuate the chair's plush proportions, while the bronze finish of the base evokes the rivets and metal hardware typical of denim wear. Each chair also boasts a camel-coloured Pelle Frau® Saddle leather label embossed with the exclusive "Archibald Denim Edition. Unique like you" logo, offering a subtle nod to the traditional patches on denim's waistband.
Each chair bears an exclusive "Archibald Denim Edition. Unique like you" logo.
True to its Italian craftsmanship roots, the Archibald Denim Edition is handcrafted by Poltrona Frau artisans, ensuring each piece is a unique creation. The attention to detail, combined with a respect for traditional techniques, makes the Archibald Denim Edition not only a chair but a statement of refined taste and understated luxury.
Launching on September 26, this exceptional edition of the Archibald armchair will be available exclusively online in select European countries. With its bold material choice and timeless design, the Archibald Denim Edition represents a perfect harmony of fashion and furniture, appealing to those who appreciate the finest in both worlds.
