Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Lepli armchair for Poltrona Frau?

The Lepli collection was designed by Kensaku Oshiro, a Milan-based Japanese designer whose work is distinguished by its dialogue between European craft traditions and a quieter, more restrained sensibility. He has collaborated with several significant Italian manufacturers.

What is Pelle Frau leather?

Pelle Frau is Poltrona Frau's proprietary leather, tanned and finished at the house's facility in Tolentino, Italy. It is available in a wide range of colors and finishes and is recognized for its consistent grain, softness, and durability over time.

Can the Lepli Small Armchair be specified in fabric?

Yes. The Lepli Small Armchair is available through Poltrona Frau's full upholstery program, which includes both the house's leather offerings and a curated selection of fabrics, allowing it to be specified for a broad range of residential and contract environments.

What other pieces are in the Lepli family?

The Lepli family extends beyond the small armchair to include stools, benches, and poufs. The collection shares the same folded, tailored upholstery language, making it well suited for cohesive specification across a single space.

Where is Poltrona Frau furniture made?

Poltrona Frau furniture is produced in Tolentino, in the Marche region of central Italy, where the house has operated since its founding in 1912. Upholstery work, including leather cutting and hand-stitching, is carried out by skilled artisans at this facility.
