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.

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.

The Archibald Armchair Denim Edition by Poltrona Frau is the perfect choice for those who wish to combine the iconic appeal of Italian design with the timeless charm of denim, a material that symbolizes freedom, authenticity, and urban style. This version of the famous Archibald armchair, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, stands out for its upholstery in GOTS-certified organic cotton jacquard fabric, featuring a slub texture reminiscent of the classic “stone washed” look of blue jeans and an intense Navy Blue color that is both elegant and versatile.

 

The result is an armchair that naturally fits into contemporary settings, metropolitan lofts, and urban-chic living rooms, as well as vacation homes, beach houses, or relaxation spaces where an easy-luxury piece that doesn’t compromise on comfort and quality is desired. The contrasting double yellow stitching, inspired by the tailored details of denim, and the base in antique bronze finish echo the rivets and buttons of jeans, adding a touch of personality and warmth even to minimalist interiors.

 

The Archibald Denim Edition is ideal for young, creative individuals, professionals working in startups or from home, as well as for those looking to furnish break areas and coworking spaces with a distinctive and welcoming element. Its ease of maintenance (dry cleaning) and the durability of Everdenim fabric make it perfect for dynamic families seeking a practical yet highly aesthetic design product.

 

This armchair can be paired with denim accessories, natural fiber rugs, or coordinated poufs, creating small relaxing and inviting environments. It is also a winning choice for hotel lounges and boutique hotels that want to stand out for originality and attention to global trends, or for fashion showrooms and retail spaces seeking an iconic, recognizable piece that conveys values of authenticity, innovation, and style.

 

The detail of the Camel Saddle leather label, with a hot-stamped logo and the inscription “Archibald Denim Edition. Unique, like you.”, further emphasizes the uniqueness of each piece and the craftsmanship that defines Poltrona Frau. This makes the armchair perfect even for those who want a personalized product that tells a story of Italian tradition reinterpreted in a contemporary and global key.

 

The Archibald Denim Edition is therefore the perfect choice for anyone wanting to bring into their home or professional space a piece of furniture that speaks of style, freedom, sustainability, and innovation, embodying the very best of Italian design and international trends.
