Concept and Design

The world of saddlery, a realm of luxury craftsmanship and expert processing, is Jean-Marie Massaud’s inspiration for GranTorino, a system of modular sofas which, in its most original and precious version, pairs saddle-leather with Pelle Frau® leather or fabric. The saddle-leather, cut and moulded by hand, closely follows the lines and geometries of the seating. Precision and complex workmanship also for the slim high armrest and the low armrest, also available with a little compartment that houses an elegant natural oak tray.

Jean-Marie Massaud

Born in Toulouse in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated in 1990 from Les Ateliers, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris. He began to work both in Asia and in France, finally opening his own office in Paris in 1994. Since than, he has dedicated himself to industrial and furniture design, building important relationships with brands such as Authentics, Baccarat and Magis. His collaboration with Marc Berthier and his work in the field of town planning led him towards design and architecture. He is concerned with design in various contexts, industrial products and furniture. His contextual approach centres on research into the essential, within which the individual remains the centre of attention. It is a work upheld by research into the senses, magic, and vital emotion which brings him to work with very different brands: Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Cacharel, Lancôme, Tronconi and Yamaha offshore. His works have been awarded several prizes and many of his designs are nowadays on show in the design collections of the major museums worldwide: from Amsterdam, Chicago, London, Paris and Zurich: from the permanent collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne de Paris to the permanent collections of the Museum für Gestaltung, Zürich, of The Chicago Athenaeum- Museum of Architecture and Design, of The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and of The Musée des arts Décoratifs, Paris.

The GranTorino pouf by Poltrona Frau is a furnishing accessory that fully expresses the versatility, comfort, and elegance typical of contemporary Italian design. Made with the highest-quality materials and finished in expertly crafted leather, this pouf stands out for its clean lines and balanced shape, making it suitable for a wide variety of interiors and uses.

 

In the living area, the pouf can be paired with sofas and armchairs to create a welcoming and sophisticated relaxation zone, serving both as an additional seat and as a footrest or support surface for trays, books, and decorative objects. In open-plan spaces, urban lofts, or contemporary living areas, it becomes a central element for social gatherings, offering flexibility and comfort even in large environments. Its presence also enhances refined bedrooms, where it can be placed at the foot of the bed as an elegant decorative piece, or used in reading corners and home libraries to provide informal yet stylish seating.

 

The GranTorino pouf also finds its greatest expression in contract environments such as lounges and suites in luxury hotels, receptions of professional offices, fashion boutiques, and prestigious showrooms. In these contexts, the attention to detail, the quality of the materials, and the possibility of customizing colors and finishes allow designers to create tailored atmospheres for each interior design project, conveying exclusivity and care for the client. It is the ideal solution for those who want a practical element with strong aesthetic impact, even in designer home offices, waiting areas of notary or law firms, or as a supporting element in representative spaces.

 

The solidity of its structure and the quality of its artisanal craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability, while its iconic design makes it a desirable piece for those who love surrounding themselves with furnishings that tell a story of Italian excellence. Choosing the GranTorino pouf means bringing into your space a functional and customizable design element, capable of enriching any environment with a touch of class, comfort, and versatility.
