Tell us more about Poltrona Frau and its history in Italy?
In 1912, Renzo Frau founded Poltrona Frau in Turin, Italy. From 1926 onward the brand was appointed as the supplier of furniture to the Italian royal family, the Savoia dynasty. Since then, Poltrona Frau has furnished the homes of numerous prominent people, grand hotels, the interiors of the Expo Turin 1928, and the lavish transatlantic Rex(ocean liner)-pride of the Italian Navy, among others. The brand consists of three divisions residential, interiors in motion and contract. While the residential division has been a part of Poltrona Frau since the beginning, the interiors in motion division was founded in 1984. Poltrona Frau creates interiors for trains, yachts, helicopters and airplanes and has collaborated with award-winning airlines such as Singapore Airlines, Alitalia and Etihad Airways. Furthermore, the most prestigious projects of the contract division include the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Jockey Club Innovation Tower in Hong Kong and the Macro Museum in Rome; and most recently the Jio World Centre (Dhirubhai Ambani International Convention & Exhibition Centre) in Mumbai.
