Poltrona Frau Dresses the Archibald Armchair in Couture Indigo

A denim icon, reimagined

There are few materials as democratic and enduring as denim — a textile born of workwear, now elevated to the runways around the globe, and, in its latest iteration, the refined living spaces of the world’s most discerning tastemakers. With the launch of the Archibald Denim Edition, Poltrona Frau introduces an unexpected yet utterly elegant expression of its design legacy mergeing sartorial cool with artisanal mastery.

Originally conceived by French designer Jean-Marie Massaud, the Archibald armchair has long been celebrated for its sculptural contours and enveloping comfort. Now, it arrives in a new form, swathed in Ever-Denim: an organic cotton jacquard fabric with a subtle slub texture and indigo hue that recalls the tactile richness of stone-washed jeans. Finished with contrasting top-stitching, it brings the language of couture to the realm of interiors — soft yet structured, timeless yet trend-aware.

This is denim reimagined — elevated through Poltrona Frau’s signature craftsmanship into something tactile, tailored and quietly commanding. Every detail speaks to restraint, precision and intention. From the antique bronze finish of the base to the camel-toned Cuoio Saddle leather label — discreetly heat-embossed with the phrase Archibald Denim Edition. Unique, like you — the details echo the codes of bespoke tailoring and Italian know-how.

The edition honours the everyday familiarity of jeans while elevating them through material innovation and refined proportion. A piece to live in, and live with.

Available exclusively via poltronafrau.com, the Archibald Denim Edition can be shipped across select markets including Italy, Spain, France, the UAE, Switzerland, Germany, and the Nordics. It’s also available in-store in the UAE as of last month. Because in a world of fast everything, true style is still worth sitting down for.
