Archibald Denim Edition | Armchair

Jean-Marie Massaud

Starting from
€ 5.332

The charm of denim inspires a new upholstery for Archibald, Poltrona Frau's iconic armchair, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud. Archibald Denim Edition is born, a stylish urban combination that gives a free look and a cool touch, perfect for high-end contemporary furnishings.


The soft and sophisticated lines of Archibald wear a new cover: a organic cotton jacquard fabric with the typical twill structure of denim, made with a special wash that makes it even more resistant and suitable for covering upholstered furniture. Named Everdenim, the fabric has a slubbed warp that characterizes it, giving it a deep, three-dimensional look and feel, with a lived-in quality inspired by the "stone washed" effect of jeans and an intense, elegant Navy Blue color. The cotton, of natural origin, is GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified and is dry-cleanable.


The jeans effect is completed with double topstitching in yellow and a base in the new "antique bronze" finish, also inspired by the rivets and various metallic details found in denim. The blue denim armchair is embellished with a Saddle Leather label in Camel color, with the logo hot stamped and the inscription "Archibald Denim Edition. Unique, like you." sewn on the back.


To highlight its uniqueness, Archibald Denim Edition will be available exclusively online through the website www.poltronafrau.com, with availability in selected countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland).

Concept and Design

Since its creation 150 years ago, denim fabric has become an undisputed protagonist of fashion, and even today, blue jeans remain one of the most universal symbols of the American myth. While always remaining relevant over the years, denim has recently become trendy, featured in all the latest prêt-à-porter and high-fashion collections, and even accessories. Poltrona Frau has captured and reinterpreted this trend in high-end furnishings, applying the play of slubbed texture and contrasting stitching to one of its most beloved, elegant, and evergreen products: the Archibald armchair.

Designed by
Jean-Marie Massaud

Born in Toulouse in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated in 1990 from Les Ateliers, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris. He began to work both in Asia and in France, finally opening his own office in Paris in 1994. Since than, he has dedicated himself to industrial and furniture design, building important relationships with brands such as Authentics, Baccarat and Magis. His collaboration with Marc Berthier and his work in the field of town planning led him towards design and architecture. He is concerned with design in various contexts, industrial products and furniture. His contextual approach centres on research into the essential, within which the individual remains the centre of attention. It is a work upheld by research into the senses, magic, and vital emotion which brings him to work with very different brands: Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Cacharel, Lancôme, Tronconi and Yamaha offshore.

His works have been awarded several prizes and many of his designs are nowadays on show in the design collections of the major museums worldwide: from Amsterdam, Chicago, London, Paris and Zurich: from the permanent collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne de Paris to the permanent collections of the Museum für Gestaltung, Zürich, of The Chicago Athenaeum- Museum of Architecture and Design, of The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and of The Musée des arts Décoratifs, Paris.
