Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Dezza armchair and when?

The Dezza was designed by Gio Ponti in the 1960s. Ponti was one of Italy's most influential architects and designers, whose work moved fluidly between architecture, furniture, ceramics, and graphic art across a career spanning five decades.

What is Pelle Frau leather?

Pelle Frau is Poltrona Frau's proprietary full-grain leather, tanned and finished in Italy to the brand's exacting standards. It is known for its consistent grain, depth of color, and the way it develops a natural patina with use over time.

What is the Redevance upholstery option?

Redevance is a printed wool satin whose graphic pattern was designed by Gio Ponti himself. Specifying it on the Dezza 24 means the textile carries the same authorship as the chair's form, creating a coherent object from structure to surface.

Is the Dezza 24 a faithful reproduction of the original?

Poltrona Frau reissues the Dezza 24 with close attention to the proportions and construction of Ponti's original design. The seasoned beech frame and upholstery techniques reflect the craft standards the brand has maintained since the piece's first production.

What lead time should I expect for a made-to-order piece?

As a made-to-order product with multiple upholstery and finish configurations, lead times vary depending on specification. Consulting directly with a design specialist is the most reliable way to confirm current production timelines for a given configuration.
