PELLE FRAU. A PALETTE OF INNOVATION
A new perspective in nubuck leather processing: the complex hand-embossing results in a highly textured and three-dimensional effect, enhanced by Boateng's choice of vibrant colors, specifically developed with Poltrona Frau to express the joy and energy of African culture with a contemporary twist.
THE JOYOUS AND EXPRESSIVE AESTHETIC OF AFRICAN CULTURE
Each pattern designed by Boateng pays homage to his Ashanti roots and tribal aesthetic telling a powerful story. Kente, an iconic element of his creations, is a modern interpretation of centuries old traditional fabrics native to the Akan tribe from present day Ghana.
A timeless symbol of Edwardian style and an icon of design, the Chester family of products are brought to life through the creative vision of Ozwald Boateng and know-how of Poltrona Frau.
The Tribal pattern, with a color palette rich in depth and contrast, elevates the armchair to a contemporary masterpiece, enhancing its unique design.
