Poltrona Frau’s 2025 Collection Brings Together Seasons, Sensibility, and Style

Poltrona Frau’s 2025 collection is built around a quiet but confident idea — The Five Seasons. The brand takes the familiar rhythm of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and adds a fifth one — something more fluid, more personal. It’s not about the weather or trends. It’s about how you want your space to feel. Maybe it’s a bit of summer’s brightness mixed with winter’s calm. Or maybe it’s a mix of fresh spring tones and that moody, nostalgic feeling that comes with autumn. The idea is simple: your home should reflect your pace, your personality, not the market or the month. That’s the Fifth Season.

The new collection plays into this mood with materials, forms, and colours that are elegant but relaxed. You can feel the craftsmanship, but nothing feels overly formal or untouchable. It’s not a showcase, it’s something you actually live with. There’s a balance between design history and contemporary life here — and it shows across every piece. One of the more striking introductions is the limited-edition Gio Ponti Dezza armchair. To mark its 60th anniversary, Poltrona Frau has released just 60 pieces, all upholstered in Pelle Frau leather printed with a previously unseen Ponti illustration. It’s bold, graphic, and collectible — but still very usable. A reminder that design icons can be part of daily life, not just museum pieces.

Another interesting revival is the 1919 armchair by Renzo Frau, this time reinterpreted in collaboration with Fornasetti. The upholstery features Fornasetti’s "Ultime Notizie" print — giving the chair a distinct visual punch without feeling over the top. It sits alongside a new take on the Isidoro trunk bar, also dressed in Fornasetti’s unmistakable hand. These limited pieces have personality, but they’re also functional — which really is the Poltrona Frau way.

Then there’s the collaboration with Leica, which brings the Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet into the spotlight. It’s been customized to house the Leica Cine 1 smart projector and screen, with compartments, drawers, and elegant cable management all tucked into a clean, leather-wrapped cabinet. It’s proof that technology and design don’t have to fight for attention — they can coexist, seamlessly. On the comfort front, the Blisscape sofa stands out. Designed by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba, it’s the kind of piece that makes sense in both a formal sitting room and a relaxed lounge. Wide seats, soft edges, and back cushions that shift with you — it’s intuitive without being overdesigned. There’s a casual honesty to it. Nothing too styled, nothing too precious. Just easy comfort with a quiet edge of sophistication.

Another returning favourite is the Parka sofa by Draga & Aurel, now extended with a 60° corner element and poufs that let you play around with layout. It’s still plush and generously padded, like a giant down jacket turned into furniture.

GranTorino by Jean-Marie Massaud has also been tweaked — new armrest heights, improved cushions, and a slightly more supportive headrest make it more user-friendly without compromising its sharp lines. There’s no flashy reinvention — just practical evolution.

Storage gets its own moment with the DressCove Night System. It’s Poltrona Frau’s first modular wardrobe concept, and while storage isn’t usually a scene-stealer, this one is different. Designed with leather, wood, integrated lighting, and sleek pole structures, it feels more like a well-made trunk than a closet system. Inside, you get custom compartments for bags, shoes, watches, even ties — the kind of thoughtful layout that shows this was designed for real people, not just show homes.

The dining area sees updates too. Mesa Due now comes in an elliptical version called Mesa Ellipse — still marble-topped, but slightly more grounded and sculptural. The Lepli seating series from Kensaku Oshiro grows with new chairs and armchairs, all featuring that signature belt-like cinch in the upholstery. They come in swivel or fixed versions, with backs that are reclined just enough to feel inviting but upright enough to support a proper meal or meeting.

For the bedroom, the Duo Collection adds a new bed designed in collaboration with Ceccotti Collezioni. It’s raised on L-shaped ash wood legs, with a wide, curved headboard that wraps gently around the sides. It’s soft, but not slouchy. The same design language extends to the bedside tables, chests of drawers, and a clean-lined vanity with a sculptural mirror. Material choices include everything from lacquered glass and brushed brass to Calacatta marble. Even the valet stand is refined — inspired by Japanese sword holders and wrapped in dark leather, it’s both useful and artistic. Small touches like these are what set this collection apart.

New materials also come into focus this year. Pelle Frau Soulful is a new leather option — thicker, more tactile, made through a sustainable tanning process called Impact Less. It comes in 12 shades, including 7 new tones, and has a richer, more natural texture than previous versions. Alongside this is the 2025 Textile Collection, which brings in three new fabric groups with a fresher, more contemporary colour palette. These aren’t trendy colours — they’re timeless ones with enough edge to feel current.

Then there’s Beautilities — the name might sound cute, but this is serious design for everyday objects. The collection now includes games like Connect Four and Tic Tac Toe in leather and wood, small travel goods like backpacks and passport holders, and a growing tabletop collection with Giobagnara. There’s even a picnic basket and a rotating tray — the kind of extras you didn’t know you wanted until you saw them done this well. Lighting also expands, with new pieces like the Moonbeam and Foliage lamps designed with digital artist Six N. Five, and the Nymph lamp by Sebastian Herkner, now also available as a floor light.

Overall, the 2025 collection is thoughtful, well-made, and clearly built to last. It doesn’t chase trends. It doesn’t shout. It sits quietly, doing what good design should do — making space feel better, more personal, more yours. Whether you're adding a limited-edition chair, updating your storage, or choosing new materials for a familiar silhouette, this collection gives you the tools to shape your own Fifth Season. And really, in a world that’s constantly shifting, that kind of calm, confident flexibility is exactly what home should feel like.
