Concept and Design

An icon of the Italian design and a flagship product of the company, Vanity Fair XC redefines a classic which, even in this new “Imagine Reality” special edition, is the brainchild of a joint effort with Fornasetti. Drawing inspiration from the Poltrona Frau’s “2024 Imagine Collection”, it once again took the industry by the storm.

An image of the sun and of the moon rise from a whirl of clouds decorating the entire surface of the armchair. A dreamlike, mysterious and surreal image, a trademark style of Fornasetti’s, retrieved from his historical archive and specially developed for Poltrona Frau. An ode to the power and freedom of imagination.
