Concept and Design

Leplì is a chair, armchair, stool, bench, and pouf. Kensaku Oshiro designs four versatile pieces with a strong identity. The designer draws on traditional Poltrona Frau processes and decorations, combining them with sartorial details borrowed from the world of fashion. Classic stitching and soft folds bring out the sinuous simplicity of the design. The voluptuous curves of the stool, in particular, are inspired by the female form and, like in a dress, a slender belt highlights her “waist”.

The Lepli chair by Poltrona Frau is born from the meeting of softness, sartorial craftsmanship, and contemporary design. Characterized by enveloping shapes and refined details, this upholstered chair stands out for its sculptural appearance and the artisanal care visible in every stitch and upholstery finish. Its superior comfort, achieved through generous padding and an ergonomic seat, makes it perfect not only from an aesthetic perspective but also from a functional one.

 

The Lepli chair finds its ideal placement in contemporary living rooms, luxury dining rooms, and open-plan living areas, where it becomes a focal point for conversations, dinners, and moments of relaxation. In an elegant dining room, its presence enriches the table with a touch of sophistication and style, while in open spaces or urban lofts it blends harmoniously as seating for conversation areas, reading corners, or design-oriented workstations. Thanks to its versatility, it is also a perfect choice for bedrooms, where it can serve as a complement for a vanity table, writing desk, or beauty corner.

 

The Lepli chair is also highly appreciated in high-end contract environments such as lounges and suites in luxury hotels, reception areas, prestigious meeting rooms, fashion boutiques, and exclusive showrooms. In these settings, the possibility of customizing colors, upholstery, and sartorial details allows interior designers to create tailored environments, coordinating the seating with other furnishing elements and meeting the needs of those seeking uniqueness and stylistic coherence. In boutique hotels, luxury hospitality venues, and premium hospitality spaces, the Lepli chair becomes a symbol of welcoming comfort and attention to detail.

 

Its compact design and soft upholstery also make it ideal for small urban spaces, refined home offices, and city apartments where every element must be both functional and visually impactful. The quality of the materials and the artisanal craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability, while the iconic character of the Lepli chair makes it a desirable piece for those who appreciate surrounding themselves with furnishings that tell a story of Italian excellence.

 

Choosing the Lepli chair means bringing into your space an element of design, comfort, and sartorial craftsmanship, capable of enriching any environment with a touch of elegance, softness, and personality.
