Concept and Design

The Ozwald Boateng x Poltrona Frau collection is born from the fusion of three rich cultural heritages, finding their meeting point in the excellence of handmade craftsmanship and a strong inclination for experimentation. The innovative upholstery for the seats and the new accessories captures the aesthetic elements of African tradition applied to Ozwald Boateng's made-to-measure tailoring, combining them with the mastery of the Made in Italy savoir-faire of Poltrona Frau. This introduces new horizons in leather processing through cutting-edge techniques.

Ozwald Boateng X Poltrona Frau

Born to Ghanaian parents in London, Boateng's aesthetic can be described as the colourful joyousness of African aesthetics coupled with the sober restraint of classic British tailoring. He began his career on Savile Row in the late 1980s and was credited with rejuvenating the profession of tailoring when he opened his first shop in 1995 at the age of 28, the youngest designer to have ever done so. From 2003-2006 he was creative director for menswear at Givenchy and was awarded an O.B.E by Queen Elizabeth in 2005. More recently, he has been a go-to designer for Hollywood, having designed costumes for the blockbuster films Black Panther and Oceans 13. In his work, Boateng champions what he describes as the new Africanism, a global celebration of the continent's history, culture and style.
