Poltrona Frau <\/strong> was born in Turin in 1912 from the intuition of Renzo <\/strong> Frau <\/strong>, an entrepreneur of Sardinian origins who knew how to combine elegance and craftsmanship, transforming the armchair into a symbol of Italian design. In 1962 the company was acquired by the Nazareno Gabrielli group <\/strong> and the following year it transferred production to Tolentino <\/strong>, in the Marche region, where all its furnishings are still made today. <\/p> \n
