Downtown Office Chair
Made by Poltrona Frau
Designed by Jean-Marie Massaud
Jean-Marie Massaud brings a sculptor's eye to the demands of the executive environment. The Downtown office chair holds its own through proportion and restraint, a silhouette of composed authority that belongs as naturally in a private office as it does in a design-led boardroom.
At its core is Poltrona Frau's Pelle Frau leather, one of the most respected materials in Italian furniture. Each hide is selected, tanned, and finished by artisans at the Tolentino atelier, producing upholstery with depth, warmth, and a patina that develops genuinely over time.
