Originally designed in 1912 by Renzo Frau, the Chester Sofa is one of the most celebrated icons in the history of Italian furniture design. Inspired by the traditional English Chesterfield, Renzo Frau transformed this classic model into a sophisticated expression of Italian craftsmanship, comfort, and elegance. More than a century later, the Chester Sofa remains a symbol of timeless luxury, distinguished by its deep capitonné tufting, hand-folded leather buttons, and beautifully pleated rolled arms. Every detail reflects the artisanal expertise that has defined Poltrona Frau for generations.
