The Archibald armchair gets a stylish upgrade with a new denim upholstery, available exclusively on the Poltrona Frau online store. Introducing the Archibald Denim Edition.

Urbane, cool & timeless:
Archibald does denim.
Fashion and design pair up for the Archibald armchair thanks to a brand-new denim upholstery available exclusively on the Poltrona Frau online store. Meet the new Archibald Denim Edition.
The fields of fashion and design are closely related in terms of creativity, experimentation and style. Very often they overlap and interplay, as in this case where the enduring appeal of denim has inspired a new covering for Archibald – the Poltrona Frau armchair designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, widely considered as a classic in its own right. Urbane meets comfort to create a cool nonchalant vibe which, just like jeans, can be flaunted on any occasion: as a tad of self-indulgence or to impress your guests.

The new Archibald Denim Edition armchair will be available exclusively for online purchase from the 26th of September.
Since its humble beginnings 150 years ago, denim fabric has risen to become a beloved wardrobe staple. The so-named ‘Genoa fabric’ arrived in the USA from Italy, to be crafted into jeans by the tailor Jacob Davis, and then patented by Levi Strauss in 1873. Still today, jeans are one of the most enduring symbols of the American myth. Yves Saint Laurent once confessed “l wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity, all I hope for in my clothes.”

Whilst always rightly claiming to be a stylish fundamental, denim is currently top-trending again, and was featured on all the latest catwalk shows, from ready-to-wear to haute couture, and in even the accessories collections. Poltrona Frau harnesses and reinterprets this trend in the furniture sector, applying the play of the iconic slubbed texture and the contrasting top-stitching to one of its elegant and, in turn, timeless, armchairs.
The folds and generous proportions of Archibald, a modern-day classic, are beautifully dressed with this new denim jacquard fabric in organic cotton where the signature diagonal twill undergoes a special wash to make it even more resilient and suitable for upholstery. This aptly named Ever-Denim fabric, in a deep upscale indigo, has a slub warp that gives it a distinctive visual and tactile three-dimensional appearance, with the lived-in feel of beloved stone-washed jeans. The organic cotton is GOT S certified (Global Organic Textile Standard) and is dry cleanable.
The double rows of top-stitching on the padded contours, and a new ‘antique bronze’ finish for the chair base, inspired by the rivets and metal hardware typical of jeans, all add authenticity. The Archibald armchair is also embellished with a camel-coloured Cuoio Saddle leather label, heat embossed with the ‘Archibald Denim Edition. Unique, like you’ logo attached to the rear. Unique, just like all the superbly exclusive pieces that are handmade by Poltrona Frau artisans.
With exclusivity firmly in mind, the Archibald Denim Edition will be offered solely online through the www.poltronafrau.com website with availability in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.

Oorjaa Introduces the Goldenrod Floor Lamp — A Luminous Ode to Nature

Oorjaa, celebrated for its commitment to conscious design and sustainable artistry, unveils its latest sculptural lighting piece — the Goldenrod Floor Lamp. True to the brand’s ethos of fusing craftsmanship, materiality, and emotion, this piece illuminates spaces with a soft, organic glow that captures the essence of mindful living.


Inspired by the delicate form of the goldenrod gall seed pod, the Goldenrod Floor Lamp extends gracefully from floor to ceiling, embodying fluidity and natural rhythm. Each curve of its form evokes the quiet elegance of nature’s patterns, while the warm amber light it radiates creates an enveloping sense of calm — perfect for winter evenings. Crafted entirely from crushed banana plant fibre paper, its texture mirrors the raw beauty of the natural world. Resting on a reclaimed wooden base, the lamp celebrates imperfections — the creases, veins, and grain — that tell a story of origin and earth. The sculptural silhouette, glowing from within, becomes both an art form and a source of gentle warmth, inviting a connection between nature and the human spirit.
The Goldenrod Floor Lamp transcends the idea of conventional lighting. Its grounding presence and poetic design make it an ideal addition to both residential and hospitality spaces. In homes, it finds harmony in living rooms, reading corners, or bedrooms, infusing each space with meditative warmth. Within boutique hotels, wellness retreats, or art-centric lobbies, it transforms atmospheres into sanctuaries of light and texture. Wherever it stands, the lamp adds a touch of organic sophistication — a sculptural statement that softly commands attention while nurturing stillness and reflection.
With the Goldenrod Floor Lamp, Oorjaa once again redefines illumination — not merely as light, but as a living expression of nature, craft, and quiet luxury.

The Poetry of Monochrome: Studio Rohini Bagla Creates Calm in Contrast

Mumbai, December 2025 – In a world alive with colour, Studio Rohini Bagla chooses calm over chaos, creating a home that celebrates the timeless allure of black, white, and every tender hue that rests between. Each space unfolds like a gentle rhythm, carrying a sense of balance, quiet strength, and refined beauty.

The dining area anchors the home with its quiet confidence. Sleek, sculptural furniture takes form with a sense of ease, its graceful lines and deep tones harmonizing beautifully with the monochrome palette. Above, pendant lights float like soft notes of melody, casting a warm and inviting glow that bathes the space in intimacy. Every detail feels intentional, every surface a reflection of thoughtful design and quiet luxury.

As one moves into the living area, the mood turns serene and airy. The palette of soft whites and muted beiges sets a tone of calm, while subtle textures add depth and character. The sofa, edged delicately with black piping, becomes a statement of understated elegance. Light drifts through sheer curtains, weaving a gentle connection between the living space and the kitchen beyond, a dialogue of openness and ease that feels both comforting and contemporary.
The study corner captures the essence of stillness and imagination. A softly contoured wall curves like a brushstroke, bringing a sense of movement and grace. The monochrome palette continues here in quiet harmony, accentuated by sculptural lighting and furniture that blends artistry with function. It’s a space that invites reflection, calm, composed, and beautifully balanced.
Every element of this home reveals Studio Rohini Bagla’s poetic understanding of design. Through a palette of restraint and rhythm, the studio transforms simplicity into emotion, creating spaces that speak softly yet leave a lasting impression. Here, monochrome is not just a palette, it is a feeling of serenity, a story told in whispers of light and shadow.
