The structure of the Times Lounge armchair is made from solid ash. The wood has a visible circular cross section and an oval cross section for the lower connecting beams. The armchair cushion support embraces the wooden structure and is made from Pelle Frau® leather. A supporting technical textile located under the seat acts as a spring. The seat and backrest cushions are padded with polyurethane foam and polyester wadding while the armrests are padded with polyester wadding. The lining of the backrest and armrest cushions is stitched as a single element, the lining of the seat cushion is separate and attached to the rest of the lining. The cushions are secured to the structure using hidden zips and snap buttons. The cushions can also be covered with Pelle Frau® leather or fabric. In both cases the cover can be removed. An additional cover can be purchased separately. The Times Lounge products are made of FSC™ 100%-certified wood.

Concept and Design

The design principles that made the Times bed unique are revisited in the Times Lounge armchair to create a timeless seat which combines an advanced construction technique with understated and mellow contemporary aesthetics. Designed by Spalvieri & Del Ciotto for Poltrona Frau, the Times Lounge armchair has a sophisticated and ultra-light structure and a cover which naturally assumes its forms like a tailored suit, making it soft and welcoming. The Times Lounge pouf follows the same conceptual lines. The end product is an item designed to complement the armchair and further enhance the experience of comfort, but it is also able to stand alone and be used as a temporary seat.

Graduates in Industrial and Interior Design respectively from Milan Polytechnic, they immediately became a couple both in life and work. Spalvieri & Del Ciotto design studio is a meeting place that brings together ideas, research and experimentation. Their work, characterised by formal and functional purity, is based on the idea that every design product must be a value to pass onto the future generations, containing and celebrating a piece of our history and our culture.

The Times Lounge armchair by Poltrona Frau, designed by the duo Spalvieri & Del Ciotto, is a perfect synthesis of contemporary design, enveloping comfort, and Italian craftsmanship. The solid ash frame, available in various finishes, embraces generous and welcoming cushioning, all upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather or selected fabrics, with a wide range of colors and textures for maximum customization. The FSC® 100% certification attests to the attention to sustainability and the quality of the materials used.

 

In modern living spaces, the Times Lounge stands out as the centerpiece of the relaxation area, perfect for reading, listening to music, or enjoying moments of meditation. Its ergonomics, visual lightness, and the softness of the cushions make it ideal even for those looking to create a refined conversation corner, perhaps next to a designer coffee table or a striking floor lamp. In open spaces or urban lofts, the armchair becomes an element of continuity between different functional areas, offering comfort and timeless style.

 

In professional environments such as studios, home offices, or private libraries, the Times Lounge provides ergonomic and representative seating, perfect for long working hours or receiving guests and clients in a high-level setting. The ability to customize the upholstery, whether in leather or fabric, allows the armchair to adapt to different color palettes, integrating seamlessly with both classic and contemporary furniture.

 

For lounges, hotel lobbies, suites, and boutique hotel rooms, the Times Lounge armchair offers a superior hospitality experience: the comfort of the cushions, the quality of the finishes, and the lightness of the wooden structure make it a preferred choice for those wishing to provide guests with an exclusive and relaxing environment. In executive office waiting rooms or professional studios, the armchair adds a touch of class, inviting moments of relaxation or informal conversation.

 

Even in design showrooms, exhibition spaces, and temporary lounges, the Times Lounge stands out for its striking presence and the possibility of being configured in iconic versions, thanks to the wide choice of upholstery and color combinations. The coordinating pouf, designed as a natural extension of the armchair but also as an independent seat, further enhances comfort, offering flexible solutions for every need.

 

For those wishing to furnish covered terraces, verandas, or winter gardens, the Times Lounge armchair, thanks to the robustness of its materials and the quality of its craftsmanship, is also suitable for semi-outdoor settings, bringing the comfort and elegance of interiors outdoors. The possibility to configure the armchair online, choosing from numerous finishing options, makes each piece unique and perfectly integrable into bespoke projects.

 

Finally, the sustainability of the materials, the artisanal care, and the ability to combine it with other elements of the Poltrona Frau collection make the Times Lounge an armchair designed to last over time and to be passed down, becoming a true symbol of style, comfort, and environmental responsibility.
