Concept and Design

Roberto Lazzeroni’s Diva armchair and chair are the natural evolution of the Vittoria series. The inspiration is aesthetic elements heavily associated with the history of Poltrona Frau and immediately recognisable. The spiral at the bottom of the backrest is a stylised nod to the classics. The folds at the corners of the seat are Poltrona Frau hallmarks.

The Diva armchair by Poltrona Frau, designed by Roberto Lazzeroni, is intended for those who want a chair with a strong personality yet compact proportions. Its soft, enveloping design creates an elegant presence that enhances a space without overwhelming it. It is an especially suitable choice for anyone looking for a compact yet welcoming seat, ideal for bringing comfort and design quality even into spaces where every element must be carefully considered.

 

In a living room, the Diva armchair works exceptionally well as an accent chair alongside a substantial sofa or a sculptural coffee table. It can complete a conversation area or transform part of a room into a small personal retreat. For those wishing to create an elegant and intimate reading corner, this armchair pairs perfectly with a floor lamp, a low bookcase, or a side table, helping to create an atmosphere that feels both cozy and organized.

 

Its dimensions also make it particularly appealing for urban apartments, vacation homes, and spaces where maximizing room is essential without sacrificing a sophisticated look. In a compact living area, it can provide additional seating without making the room feel crowded; in a bedroom or suite, it can become a refined occasional chair, ideal for reading, relaxing, or simply completing the décor with a distinctive and coherent design statement.

 

The Diva armchair also adapts beautifully to spacious entryways, foyers, and luxury walk-in closets, where it fulfills the need for seating that is both decorative and genuinely functional. In these settings, it is more than just an accessory; it becomes an element that defines the character of the space, immediately conveying a sense of care, comfort, and material quality.

 

In professional and contract environments, it finds a natural place in boutique hotels, waiting areas, executive offices, and showrooms. Here, it becomes an effective solution for those seeking a statement chair that communicates elegance without excess. Its welcoming profile encourages informal conversations and makes waiting times more pleasant, while the prestige of the brand and the refinement of its finishes help strengthen the overall perception of the space.

 

From an aesthetic standpoint, the ability to choose leather upholstery or other refined finishes allows for the creation of very different atmospheres. A leather version in dark or warm tones is perfect for those seeking a richer, more authoritative, and timeless look; a lighter or fabric finish, on the other hand, suits bright, soft, and contemporary interiors. In both cases, the armchair pairs effortlessly with natural woods, marble, satin-finished metals, and both neutral and deep color palettes.

 

Another interesting aspect is its ability to coordinate with other seating pieces from the same collection, as well as with tables and accessories characterized by elegant design. This makes it ideal for those who wish to maintain stylistic continuity between dining areas, lounge spaces, and reception zones, creating interiors that are cohesive without feeling rigid, where every element contributes to a shared vision of comfort.

 

The Diva armchair is therefore an especially suitable solution for those seeking not just a small chair, but an object capable of combining visual presence, balance, and versatility. It is the ideal answer for spaces that require intimate comfort, visual lightness, and a highly refined character, all with the distinctive personality of signature Italian design.
