The Archibald armchair has always been a huge success for Poltrona Frau, ever since it was first created. Its designer, Jean-Marie Massaud, delicately combined form and substance, achieving the perfect balance between a comfortable and snug seat – offset by slim feet – creating an elegant and stylish final result.

The Archibald line, now an extended family, has preserved its distinctive design elements: the armrest ear, folded like a shirt lapel left slightly exposed, is a surprise detail that adds character and lightness to the seating. The rich, free-folding vertical drapery of the covering, in addition to the tone-on-tone or contrast stitching around the edges or outer surfaces, add to the design of a versatile and sophisticated collection that exemplifies contemporary luxury.
