Lepli Pouf
Made by Poltrona Frau
Designed by Kensaku Oshiro
Kensaku Oshiro conceived the Lepli family at the intersection of fashion and furniture, and the pouf distills that proposition into its most concentrated form. Soft folds of leather or fabric gather across the surface, held by precise stitching that recalls the controlled drape of couture tailoring. The silhouette is restrained and expressive in equal measure.
Poltrona Frau's upholstery workshops in Tolentino, Italy, have carried a tradition of craft since 1912. Each piece is brought to life through that accumulated knowledge, with hides and fabrics selected from the house's extensive material archive. The result reads differently depending on the light, the chosen upholstery, and the atmosphere of the room it occupies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Poltrona Frau Lepli collection?
The Lepli collection was designed by Kensaku Oshiro, a Japanese-born, Milan-based designer known for work that bridges the sensibilities of fashion and industrial design. The collection draws on the vocabulary of couture, translating fabric folds and controlled drape into upholstered furniture form.
What upholstery options are available for the Lepli Pouf?
The Lepli Pouf is available in Poltrona Frau's full range of leather hides and fabric options. The house maintains an extensive material archive developed over more than a century, allowing for significant customization in color, texture, and finish.
Where is the Lepli Pouf manufactured?
The piece is handcrafted at Poltrona Frau's atelier in Tolentino, in the Marche region of Italy, where the company has produced upholstered furniture since its founding in 1912.
How can the Lepli Pouf be used in an interior?
The Lepli Pouf functions as an ottoman paired with a lounge chair, a low bench at the foot of a bed, or an independent accent piece in a dressing room, study, or hospitality setting. Its compact proportions and considered silhouette allow it to anchor or complement a composition without overwhelming it.
What makes Poltrona Frau leather distinctive?
Poltrona Frau selects and processes its own hides, a practice refined over more than a century. The leather is known for its depth of color, suppleness, and the way it develops a patina over time, qualities that distinguish it from mass-produced upholstery materials.
