Poltrona Frau: Chongqing, China.

Luxury Italian furniture brand Poltrona Frau recently completed a residential project in Chongqing, China.

Divided into just four rooms over a surface of 700 square metres, the minimalist design champions fluidity, with elegant rooms in muted natural tones softly conversing with one another.

Perfectly capturing the character of the homeowner and his wife, Poltrona Frau’s bold yet understated designs were the perfect choice for the interiors, providing a quiet, understated luxury.

“The living and dining areas are dominated by grey and sand nuances, where daylight comes from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows,” explains Poltrona Frau. “Two adjoining but separated sitting areas create multiple convivial or relaxing occasions, on the left GranTorino sofa and two Archibald armchairs with a round Ilary coffee table in the centre, all designed by Jean-Marie Massaud. A Blue Pallo grey glass vase by Carina Seth Andersson reflects the light and the moment. In the second sitting room, with a modern white mantlepiece, a Mamy Blue armchair by Roberto Lazzeroni and a matching pouf create the perfect reading corner.

“In the TV area, where grey tones characterise the space, we find the famous Dezza armchair by Gio Ponti in a bright light blue, with a Fiorile coffee table.

“In the studio room, we find a Lloyd bookcase with a Downtown president office chair, completed by a Leather Pot vase.

The main dining room discovers light and nature through the glass façade over a Bolero table surrounded by Montera chairs (both by Roberto Lazzeroni), while in a second dining room, we find a round version of the Bolero table with a Lazy Susan turn-top. Montera chairs, in white and black and a Fidelio High cabinet complete the scene.

“A Fidelio Notte bed and a Nivola armchair, both designed by Roberto Lazzeroni, are the protagonists of the last space, the sleeping area, in the same colour theme that characterises the entire home: grey, white and sand. From the study to the bedroom, every piece of Poltrona Frau fits perfectly with the house.”

Founded by Renzo Frau in 1912, Poltrona Frau has evolved over the years and today also includes the companies Ceccotti Collezioni, Janus et Cie, Luminaire, Karakter, Luxury Living Group, Interni and Zanotta, as well as Cassina and Cappellini.

Known for its outstanding design craftsmanship, the brand is lauded the world over for its exceptional innovation and quality, crafting contemporary classics for the modern home.
