It is particularly well-suited in combination with a three-seater sofa or positioned in front of a rounded armchair, reflecting its generous proportions.

Concept and Design

The Parka modular seating range, designed by the duo Draga & Aurel, pays homage to a classic ‘90s streetwear clothing item, typical of the US grunge culture and now a symbol of an entire generation. Just like the legendary garment, Parka is a passe-partout sofa that fits any style and is extremely versatile, despite having a strong personality. Its soft profile and generous volumes, upholstered all the way to the floor, promise comfort and relaxation. The unusually oval-shaped backrest, which gradually and seamlessly morphs into an armrest and then a seat, creates a concave or convex shape, bold and at the same time inviting, effortlessly adapting to different styles with nonchalance.

Drawing on a shared artistic background and a professional journey spanning the realms of fashion, music, and craftsmanship, Draga Obradovic and Aurel K. Basedow are the founders of the multidisciplinary studio and atelier bearing their names, active in Como since 2007.

 

Art and design in Draga & Aurel follow two parallel and complementary paths, in a continuous dialogue that strengthens and sometimes overturns their meanings. Considered pioneers of upcycling in the design sector, Draga & Aurel are now among the most appreciated names in the collectible field, and their handmade pieces are exhibited and distributed by some of the most prestigious international galleries. Design production is complemented by Aurel K. Basedow's artistic production: powerful, evocative, and poetic works. The same artistic approach to materials is applied in the design of furniture pieces designed for some of the most important and visionary Made in Italy design companies. Draga & Aurel love fashion, vintage taste, and embracing lines. Passions that are fully expressed in their first project for Poltrona Frau, Parka, a modular seating system that pays homage to a great 1990s Streetwear classic, which the grunge culture in America and the paninaro culture in Italy turned into the symbol of a generation. Like the iconic coat, Parka is a sofa as bold as it is welcoming, as understated as it is refined, extremely versatile: a passe-partout that adapts to every look and environments with strong personalities.

 

Draga & Aurel are among the most influential names in design according to Architectural Digest and have been selected for the third consecutive year in the AD100 review. Their projects have been included in the ADI Design Index and have received the prestigious wallpaper*design award.

The Parka pouf by Poltrona Frau, designed by the creative duo Draga & Aurel, represents a furnishing solution that combines versatility, comfort, and tailored elegance. Inspired by the iconic 1990s parka jacket, this pouf stands out for its soft and welcoming lines that invite relaxation and well-being in any environment. Its generous shape and the possibility of choosing from a wide range of Pelle Frau® leather or fabric upholstery make it perfect for those seeking a design element capable of adapting to different styles, from modern to vintage, from eclectic to minimalist.

 

Thanks to its modular nature, the Parka pouf can be used as an extension of a three-seat sofa, providing extra seating or becoming a comfortable footrest. It is also ideal when placed in front of a rounded armchair, creating an intimate and refined conversation corner. In contemporary living rooms, the Parka pouf can also function as a decorative element capable of breaking the monotony of an overly rigid environment.

 

The possibility of customizing the upholstery—choosing between refined leather finishes or more contemporary textile textures—allows homeowners and designers to play with colors and tactile sensations, adapting the pouf to both neutral palettes and bolder chromatic choices. This feature makes it suitable not only for private homes but also for boutique hotels, high-end lounges, professional studios, and executive offices, where attention to detail and material quality are essential for conveying an image of prestige and hospitality.

 

The Parka pouf can also be integrated into sophisticated bedrooms, used as seating at the foot of the bed or as a functional element in a luxury walk-in closet. In contract environments, lounges, and waiting areas, its welcoming shape and wide customization possibilities make it ideal for creating relaxing spaces with strong visual impact. Its streetwear inspiration and reference to 1990s grunge culture can also become a stylistic choice for those who enjoy telling their personal story through furniture pieces, selecting iconic items that evoke fashion, music, and design.

 

People attentive to artisanal quality and Italian design, lovers of enveloping shapes and the ability to customize every detail, professionals who want to introduce comfort and style into their work environments, young couples furnishing their first home with attention to trends, and enthusiasts of fashion and pop culture: the Parka pouf responds to all these needs, offering a solution that combines functionality, aesthetics, and identity. The signature of Draga & Aurel, among the most influential names in contemporary design, gives the product additional value, making it a desirable piece for those seeking furnishings capable of telling a story and transforming every space into a unique and personal environment.
