Archibald Lounge Chair

$7,546

Made by Poltrona Frau

Designed by Jean-Marie Massaud

Jean-Marie Massaud conceived the Archibald around a single, considered idea: comfort as an embrace. The silhouette is generous without being heavy, its relaxed profile held in place by vertical folds that give the piece an unmistakable identity. These folds are not decoration but structure, drawing the upholstery into a quiet rhythm that reads differently from every angle.

Poltrona Frau's Pelle Frau leather brings its own character to the form. Tanned using traditional methods and offered across a broad palette, it ages with the kind of patina that only develops through genuine craft and careful hide selection. Fabric versions follow the same philosophy: precisely tailored, with stitching details that include contrast options on leather and tone-on-tone finishes on fabric.

  • Upholstered in Pelle Frau leather or fabric, with removable covers available

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pelle Frau leather and how is it made?

Pelle Frau is Poltrona Frau's proprietary leather, tanned and finished in Italy using traditional techniques refined over more than a century. Each hide is selected for grain consistency and hand, then treated to develop a rich surface that deepens in character over time.

Who designed the Archibald Lounge Chair?

The Archibald was designed by French designer Jean-Marie Massaud, whose practice is known for work that bridges industrial precision with an intuitive sensibility for the human body. The chair first appeared in Poltrona Frau's collection in 2008 and has remained a signature piece.

Can the Archibald be upholstered in fabric instead of leather?

Yes. The Archibald is available in Poltrona Frau's removable fabric upholstery as an alternative to Pelle Frau leather, with tone-on-tone stitching for the fabric version and optional contrast stitching for leather.

What customization options are available for the Archibald?

The chair can be personalized across a wide range of Pelle Frau leather colors and fabric options, with choices for stitching style and finish. This level of specification makes it well suited to bespoke residential and contract interiors.

Is the Archibald appropriate for contract or hospitality use?

The Archibald's construction and the durability of Pelle Frau leather make it a considered choice for refined hospitality and professional environments. Poltrona Frau offers contract specification support for larger projects.
