Five decorative cushions are covered in fine 100% cotton velvet from the Pierre Frey “Fine Velvet Collection”. The Fine colour range is designed by India Mahdavi, well-known all over the world for her eclectic and elegant use of colour. Poltrona Frau chooses the Powder, Terracotta, Dijon, Fouger and Duck shades and combines them with five Pelle Frau® colours which are used to create thin piping along the edges of the cushions. The label sporting the company logo is also in Pelle Frau® leather.

 

In the vast production of Jim Thompson, Poltrona Frau has selected fabrics that span various yarns, weaving techniques, and motifs. Floral patterns inspired by traditional Asian ceramics are rendered in jacquard embroidery on silk satin. Sophisticated patterns inspired by the Banyan tree in wonderful gradient colors, and the blooming of the Heliconia— a tropical plant that grew in the garden of the designer’s legendary Thai home—are presented on a fine linen fabric embroidered with brightly colored viscose threads. The decorative cushions made with prints signed by Jim Thompson are finished with fabric piping and a label in Camel-colored Cuoio Saddle Extra leather, hot-stamped with the Poltrona Frau logo.

 

All Decorative cushions in the collection are available in the sizes 47x47 cm and 35x57 cm.

Concept and Design

The splendour of silk, the depth of velvet, the fineness of linen, the natural beauty of leather. Soft and sumptuous colours, rich and refined patterns. Poltrona Frau Decorative Cushions add a valuable and authentic personal touch to the rooms of the home. The collection comprises different products inspired by two of the most cultured and interesting characters on the international textile decorations panorama: refined textile designer Pierre Frey and legendary silk genius Jim Thompson.

 

In the part of the collection dedicated to Jim Thompson every cushion has the charm of a painting. The American designer with the adventurous lifestyle visited Thailand in the 1940’s where he was amazed by the traditional silk production process, duly founding The Thai Silk Company. His fabrics, a combination of vibrant oriental colours and Western style and elegance, became iconic.  Thompson’s company is still headquartered in Bangkok today and has preserved its artisan spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing methods, as well as its use of the finest raw materials.

Poltrona Frau decorative cushions are designed for those who want to complete an interior with a detail capable of immediately changing the mood of a space in a refined and personal way. The collection combines high-quality materials such as 100% cotton velvet, silk, linen, and Pelle Frau® details, creating accessories that not only add comfort but also introduce visual depth, color, and identity. They are ideal for those who consider textiles an essential part of interior design and seek objects capable of interacting with the furnishings in a sophisticated yet natural way.

 

In a contemporary living room, these cushions are particularly suitable for those who want to make a statement sofa feel more inviting or visually soften an interior built around clean lines and fine materials. On leather seating, fabric sofas, iconic armchairs, or chaise longues, they can create chromatic continuity or introduce a measured contrast that brings more energy to the room without compromising its balance. They are an excellent solution for those who want more personality without changing the main furnishings, simply by adjusting tones, textures, and details.

 

The richness of the materials is one of the aspects that makes this collection particularly appealing. Velvet adds body and depth, silk introduces light and preciousness, linen offers a more natural and crisp note, while Pelle Frau® piping creates an elegant and recognizable finish. For this reason, Poltrona Frau decorative cushions are especially well suited to interiors where the tactile quality of surfaces is meant to stand out: homes with warm woods, natural stone, leather furnishings, richly textured rugs, and carefully composed color palettes. In these settings, the cushion is not merely a soft accessory but an element that reinforces the character of the space and refines the way it is perceived.

 

The textile inspirations further expand the possible uses of these cushions, making them suitable for those who appreciate interiors with a more expressive, international, or decorative character. They can be ideal for people looking for sophisticated color accents, patterns with artistic references, or a more vibrant note in otherwise highly neutral rooms. In a home with an essential architectural base, these cushions can introduce warmth, narrative, and movement. In already richly layered interiors, they can instead help connect colors, finishes, and materials more harmoniously.

 

They also find a natural place in the bedroom. On a statement bed, an upholstered bench, a bedroom chair, or in a private suite, they add visual comfort and a sense of tailored refinement. They are particularly suitable for those who want to create a bedroom that feels sophisticated without becoming impersonal, using details that make the space feel more lived-in and welcoming. Thanks to the available formats, they can be easily combined to create balanced compositions on both double beds and individual seating.

 

Poltrona Frau decorative cushions are also a highly convincing choice for high-end professional spaces. In suites, lounges, boutique hotels, executive offices, waiting areas, and premium hospitality environments, they can help make seating more welcoming and give the overall setting a greater sense of completeness. They are ideal for those seeking a softer, warmer form of elegance, capable of improving perceived comfort while also emphasizing the quality level of the space. In these settings, a well-selected cushion can reinforce the design language, echo an existing color palette, or introduce a textile detail that makes the environment more memorable.

 

From an aesthetic perspective, this collection is suited to people with different sensibilities who share a strong attention to detail: those who appreciate quiet luxury, those looking for a high-level decorative touch, those wanting to soften a minimalist interior, and those who prefer fine materials and tailored finishes. It is a collection that works equally well in contemporary apartments, homes with more classic furnishings reinterpreted in a modern way, and internationally inspired interiors where velvet, silk, and leather coexist naturally.

 

Aida is perfectly suited to prestigious living rooms, executive offices, and hotel lounges. The finishes reflect the finest Poltrona Frau tradition: fully upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather, or with a leather outer shell paired with a fabric interior.

 

For those seeking a statement piece in a compact footprint, Aida combines restrained proportions with an embracing presence. It fits effortlessly into urban living rooms, open-plan spaces, conversation corners, or reading nooks, adding a focal point without overwhelming the room. Its petal-inspired silhouette creates an intimate microenvironment, ideal for those who desire enveloping comfort without bulky volumes.

 

The range of materials and color options allows for highly tailored customization. Pelle Frau® leather in classic or more contemporary color families enhances warm, sophisticated interiors, while the combination of a leather shell and fabric interior softens the visual impact and introduces inviting textures—perfect for those who appreciate a tactile, material-rich aesthetic. Saddle leather elevates the architectural character of the shell, offering a crisp and enduring design statement for reception and representative spaces.

 

In hospitality settings and executive offices, Aida fulfills a variety of needs: it welcomes guests naturally in waiting areas and lounges, conveys authority in executive studies, and enriches suites and lobbies with a discreet yet iconic presence. The meticulous construction—hand-tied springs, carefully selected woods, and shaped foam cushioning—creates a balanced seating experience: neither overly soft nor rigid, but designed to provide stable ergonomic comfort during meetings, reading sessions, or formal conversations.

 

At home, Aida becomes a reliable companion for everyday rituals, from an afternoon cup of tea to an evening novel. Its base emphasizes stability and visual continuity while maintaining versatility in multifunctional environments. Upholstered in dark leather, it adds depth to internationally inspired living spaces; in lighter tones with fabric interiors, it brings brightness and visual softness to Mediterranean or Nordic-inspired interiors.

 

In settings featuring natural wood flooring, veined marble, or hand-finished resin surfaces, Aida becomes an element of material continuity. Positioned alongside bookcases, reading lamps, or sculptural side tables, it creates carefully curated micro-scenes that satisfy the desire for a personal corner that is distinctive, recognizable, and effortlessly photogenic.
