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.
