The Assaya armchair by Poltrona Frau, designed by Satyendra Pakhalé, is a furnishing proposal created to meet the needs of an increasingly fluid and connected world, where the boundary between home space and the workplace dissolves in favor of hybrid, versatile environments.

Its sculptural shell—upholstered externally in saddle leather and internally in Frau® leather or premium fabrics—reflects an innovative formal research, conceived for those seeking comfort, contemporary aesthetics, and precious materials. This armchair finds its natural place in modern living rooms and open-plan spaces, where it can become a statement element, able to dialogue with minimalist furnishings or interiors rich in personality.

Thanks to its ergonomic, welcoming structure, Assaya is ideal for creating a domestic relaxation area dedicated to reading, meditation, or tech-enabled downtime—perhaps beside a bookcase, near a large window, or in a room devoted to personal wellbeing. Its multifaceted character also makes it perfect for high-level professional environments: refined home offices, creative studios, architects’ or designers’ workplaces, representative waiting areas, and corporate lounges will find in this armchair a solution that communicates innovation, attention to detail, and an international design culture.

In luxury hotels, prestigious lobbies, and exclusive suites, Assaya stands out as a symbol of sophisticated hospitality, offering guests a seating experience that blends aesthetics, comfort, and functionality. The possibility of choosing among numerous upholstery options—from saddle leather to textiles, from leather to technical materials—and among multiple colors and textures allows the armchair to adapt to any color palette and interior style, making it suitable for both residential and public contexts.

The combination of materials and the tailored care of visible stitching make it particularly appreciated by those seeking customized, exclusive solutions with strong visual impact. Assaya is the ideal answer for people living in contemporary, cosmopolitan homes; for those who want a piece that is both functional and distinctive; and for anyone who enjoys surrounding themselves with objects born from the dialogue between culture, technology, and excellence craftsmanship.

It is also perfect for those who work from home and want an ergonomic seat that supports focus and wellbeing, or for those who wish to introduce into a public space a design element that tells a story of innovation and international openness. In art galleries, showrooms, exhibition spaces, and high-end boutiques, the Assaya armchair can become an attention catalyst—an object that crosses the boundaries between art and design, function and representation.

Its versatility also suits those who like to frequently change furniture layouts, thanks to how easily it can be placed in very different settings, from a private living area to the reception of an innovative company. In summary, the Assaya armchair by Poltrona Frau is intended for those seeking a product that combines comfort, innovation, customization, and design culture, offering endless possibilities of use and interpretation in line with the most advanced trends in contemporary living and working.
