Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pelle Frau leather?

Pelle Frau is Poltrona Frau's proprietary leather, tanned and finished in Italy using a process refined over more than a century. It is recognized for its exceptional softness, even grain, and the way it develops a rich patina with age.

Who is designer Roberto Lazzeroni?

Roberto Lazzeroni is a Florence-based architect and designer known for work that bridges Italian craft traditions with a refined, contemporary sensibility. He has collaborated with some of Italy's most respected furniture manufacturers, often exploring the intersection of material warmth and formal restraint.

What is the collaboration behind the DUO collection?

DUO was born from a dialogue between Poltrona Frau and Ceccotti Collezioni, two Italian houses with deep roots in upholstery and wood craftsmanship respectively. The collection draws on each house's distinct heritage to produce pieces that feel at once familiar and considered.

Can the DUO sofa upholstery be customized?

The DUO sofa is available in Pelle Frau leather, fabric, or combined leather and fabric configurations, with removable covers offered on select versions. Specific customization options are best confirmed for each configuration.

How does the DUO sofa's silhouette relate to mid-century design?

Lazzeroni's design draws on the curved, generous forms associated with Italian furniture of the 1950s and 1960s, but recalibrates them with contemporary proportions and precise stitching detail. The result is a silhouette with historical resonance that reads as fully current.
