About




In 1912, the Sardinian Renzo Frau registered the Poltrona Frau tradename with the Turin Chamber of Commerce. Following a series of generational handovers, in 1962, the Nazareno Gabrielli group bought out the Turin company, which one year later moved to Tolentino. In 1980s, Poltrona Frau expanded its production to include the automotive and contract sectors.

In 2004 the company became Poltrona Frau Group together with Cassina and Cappellini. In 2014, the Haworth family purchased the Poltrona Frau Group, promoting and endorsing all the brand’s values. In 2019 Poltrona Frau Group becomes Lifestyle Design Group and today includes also the companies Ceccotti Collezioni, Janus et Cie, Luminaire, Karakter, Luxury Living Group, Interni and Zanotta.
