80s Leather and glass coffee table for Poltrona Frau
Renzo Frau founded Poltrona Frau in Turin in 1912. In the 30’s it was already a status symbol. From 1926 it was appointed supplier of the Italian Royal Family, the Savoia dynasty. From then on, it will furnish all the most important houses, grand hotels, the interiors for Expo Turin 1928, and the lavish transatlantic Rex, pride of the Italian Navy.
If you ask Italians about Poltrona Frau you get only one answer: ‘quality’. And maybe in second you get the answer: leather. Up till today this company operates with lots of skilled craftsmen who nowadays also use computers and machines, lasercutters etc. But the worth internally within Poltrona is since the 1912s: no machine can ever beat the performance of ‘the intelligence of our hands. In any Poltrona Frau design, like this coffee table, details are to be found. This 70s beautiful cognac brown leather wings match perfectly with the brown smoked glass table top.
