Concept and Design

Chester is now also Chester One: a more extensive collection with new four- and five-seater sofas and poufs, also revisited in terms of their dimensions. In fact, the seats are now 15 centimetres deeper to offer greater comfort and contemporary elegance, in keeping with the times.
However, the Chester One sofa maintains the features of the classic model designed by Renzo Frau: the famous capitonné processing, the curved armrest, the series of pins that refines the Pelle Frau® leather upholstery.

Designed by
Renzo Frau

Lorenzo Frau, known as ‘Renzo’, was born in Cagliari in 1881. He left Sardinia for military service in Milan, which he completed successfully earning the title of lieutenant. He married Savina Pisati and moved to Turin, at the time a real hub of Italian culture. He initially worked as a sales representative for Gribaudi and then for Dermoide Patent, manufacturer of faux leather. Having moved to Great Britain for work, he was able to discover the Chesterfield model armchairs and immediately imagined its potential, successfully starting to import it into Italy. At the same time, however, he was also attracted by the models of French and Central European style. He therefore decided to create his own artisan production laboratory. It was 1912: Poltrona Frau was created. From the initial work ‘in style’, Frau quickly moved onto direct design. Poltrona Frau became not only a production pole, but also a meeting point for artists and intellectuals. Renzo Frau used these relations to consolidate the brand image: successful models ensued quickly, one after the other. As the First World War broke out, Frau was called to fight for his country and his wife Savina bravely took up the reins of the company. Frau’s armchairs thus began entering the most important buildings, also used by the royal family. Renzo Frau met an early death in 1926. He left an extensive archive of projects that would allow his wife to coherently pursue Poltrona Frau production in the years to come.

The Chester One pouf by Poltrona Frau represents the perfect blend of tradition and modernity, offering a refined, functional, and highly recognizable piece of furniture. Inspired by the famous Chester collection but with more contemporary lines and revised proportions, this pouf stands out for its hand-crafted capitonné stitching, the quality of Pelle Frau® leather, and artisanal attention to detail, making it an object of great aesthetic and practical value.

 

The Chester One finds its ideal placement as a luxury pouf next to sofas and armchairs from the same collection, harmoniously complementing contemporary living rooms, historic villas, and prestigious residences. Thanks to its versatility, it can be used as extra seating for guests, as a footrest for moments of relaxation, or as a surface for books, trays, or decorative accessories, always remaining discreet yet prominent.

 

In professional environments such as law firms, executive offices, and waiting rooms of high-profile companies, the Chester One helps convey an image of hospitality, care, and prestige. In luxury hotel lounges, exclusive suites, boutique hotels, and private clubs, this pouf becomes an element of comfort and style, enhancing communal spaces and offering guests an informal yet sophisticated seating option.

 

The Chester One pouf is also highly appreciated in showrooms, art galleries, and high-end retail spaces, where its presence helps create sophisticated and memorable environments. In elegant bedrooms, dressing rooms, and relaxation areas of prestigious residences, the pouf can serve as a decorative element, footrest, or seat for moments of preparation or leisure.

 

Customization in finishes, colors, and materials allows the Chester One to be integrated into bespoke interior design projects, both for private residences and contract, hospitality, and yacht environments. In museums, foundations, cultural institutions, and refined public spaces, the pouf provides an elegant, durable, and visually impactful seating solution.

 

The Chester One pouf also adapts perfectly to photo shoots, film productions, and advertising campaigns that aim to evoke an atmosphere of class, history, and Italian design. It can be used as a contrasting element in minimalist, industrial, or eclectic interiors, adding a touch of warmth, craftsmanship, and heritage. Finally, in luxury boutiques, ateliers, and retail spaces, the pouf offers a refined solution for welcoming clients and completing the shopping experience.
