Archibald Denim Armchair Launches Online

08 Apr 2025 CW Team

Poltrona Frau has introduced the Archibald Denim Edition, an exclusive reinterpretation of its iconic armchair, available only through its online store starting September 26. Designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, this version blends high-end design with the timeless allure of denim. The upholstery is crafted from Ever-Denim fabric—organic cotton jacquard with a slubbed texture and indigo wash, evoking the look and feel of stone-washed jeans. The material is GOTS-certified, dry-cleanable, and chosen for both its resilience and aesthetic appeal.

Design elements such as contrasting top-stitching and an antique bronze base pay homage to classic denim hardware, while a camel-colored Cuoio Saddle leather tag at the back adds a unique artisanal touch. The label, embossed with "Archibald Denim Edition. Unique, like you," reflects the handcrafted exclusivity of the piece.

This launch highlights the synergy between fashion and furniture, with Poltrona Frau reinterpreting current denim trends for the interiors market. The armchair will be sold in select European countries including Italy, France, Germany, and the Nordics.

Known for its impeccable craftsmanship since 1912, Poltrona Frau continues to innovate across residential, automotive, and public spaces, merging tradition with contemporary elegance.
