Times Lounge Armchair
Made by Poltrona Frau
Designed by Spalvieri & Del Ciotto
Spalvieri & Del Ciotto conceived the Times Lounge Armchair as a study in visual lightness. The solid ash frame holds a refined silhouette, spare enough to read as sculpture from across a room, yet generous enough to invite prolonged use. Its proportions draw directly from the Times Bed collection, carrying a consistent sensibility across the objects that share a space.
The upholstery follows the form with the precision of tailoring, shaped to the frame rather than imposed upon it. Pelle Frau leather remains the defining material choice, each hide selected and worked at the Tolentino atelier where Poltrona Frau has practiced Italian leather upholstery without interruption since 1912. Curated fabric alternatives are available for those whose interiors call for a different register of texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pelle Frau leather?
Pelle Frau is Poltrona Frau's proprietary leather, tanned and finished at the brand's Tolentino facility in the Marche region of Italy. Each hide is individually selected for grain consistency and worked through a process that has remained largely artisanal since the company's founding in 1912. The result is a leather known for its softness, chromatic depth, and durability over decades of use.
Who designed the Times Lounge Armchair?
The chair was designed by Spalvieri & Del Ciotto, the Milan-based studio of Andrea Spalvieri and Matteo Del Ciotto. Their work for Poltrona Frau is characterized by formal restraint and close attention to the relationship between structure and upholstery.
How does the Times Armchair relate to the Times Bed?
Spalvieri & Del Ciotto developed the Times Lounge Armchair as a seating extension of the Times Bed collection, sharing proportional logic and a common design sensibility so the two pieces can coexist coherently within the same interior.
What ash frame finishes are available?
The FSC-certified solid ash frame is offered in several finishes. The specific options vary by configuration; a design consultant can provide the current finish palette and help match it to a project's material context.
Is the Times Lounge Armchair made to order?
Yes, the chair is available as a made-to-order piece, allowing selection of frame finish and upholstery material from Poltrona Frau's full range of leathers and fabrics. Production takes place at the Tolentino atelier in Italy.
