The concept of the 2024 Imagine Collection by Poltrona Frau, where imagination inspires the encounter between the creativity of Fornasetti and the iconic Vanity Fair XC armchair. Technology, craftsmanship, and surreal visions blend together into a symbol of Italian design.
VANITY FAIR XC IMAGINE EDITION
An expanded version of the original 1930 armchair, Vanity Fair XC Imagine Edition comes with a decoration based on a unique drawing by Fornasetti.
Poltrona Frau and Fornasetti: an unprecedented joint effort by two historical Made in Italy brands. A partnership between high-end craftsmanship and Italian creativity to take the luxury interior design industry to greater heights.
A dreamlike topic typical of Fornasetti prints, retrieved from the extensive historical archive of the atelier and specially redefined for the Vanity Fair XC Imagine Edition, this design features the sun and the moon rising from a whirl of clouds.
Based on a sustainable tanning process which removes chromium and reduces use of water and chemical substances, this innovative leather developed by Poltrona Frau is built using renewable sources of energy. For Vanity Fair XC, it is printed digitally using a sophisticated method similar to silk screen-printing which confers a three-dimensional relief effect for a light and pleasant feeling to touch.
This unique edition is limited to 50 individually numbered pieces. A select number will be available for pre-order exclusively on the Poltrona Frau e-shop in select European countries. From April 10th, while supplies last, they will be available for order through select stores worldwide after its launch at the 2024 Design Week in Milan. Each lucky owner will also recieve a luxurious leather clutch, handcrafted leather Vanity Fair keychain and a signed certificate of authenticity.
