Poltrona Frau is a furniture-maker founded in 1912 by Sardinian-born Renzo Frau[2] in Turin, Italy, headquartered since the early 1960s[3] in Tolentino and specializing in leather seating for interior and automotive applications.[4] The company name combines poltrona, the Italian word for 'armchair', and Frau, the last name of its founder.
Noted for their exhaustive quality standards,[5] the company uses a 21-step leather tanning process (vs. industry standard ranging from 12–15 steps)[6] where the full-grain leather is dyed through, so a surface scratch won’t reveal a lining underneath.[5] 95% of the company's products are made by hand.[7]
In 2014, United States–based Haworth Group purchased a controlling interest in Poltrona Frau.[4]
