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.

Long before children learn to read stories, they learn to live inside them. MiRooh’s latest Cosmic Candy Collection brings that idea to life through playful bedding and soft furnishings designed to turn bedrooms into miniature dreamscapes.
Crafted in soothing pastel tones of blush pink, soft peach, ivory and muted aqua, the collection combines visual warmth with thoughtful detailing. Quilted bedding, embroidered cushions, ruffled borders and coordinated bolsters come together to create an environment that feels comforting, playful and inviting.
At the heart of the collection is a whimsical narrative designed to encourage imagination. Delicate illustrations of unicorns beneath rainbow arches, scattered stars, tiny crowns and dreamlike motifs appear across quilts, cushions and bed linen. The designs are playful without being overwhelming, allowing the room to feel calm while still capturing a child’s sense of wonder.
Made from soft, skin-friendly fabrics, each piece has been designed with comfort as carefully considered as aesthetics. Gentle textures, quilted surfaces and plush detailing create a cocoon-like setting that supports rest, play and quiet moments alike.
The Cosmic Candy collection reflects a growing shift towards thoughtfully designed children’s interiors, where furniture and furnishings contribute to a nurturing environment while maintaining a refined visual language that parents appreciate.
With this launch, MiRooh extends its design philosophy into the world of children’s spaces, creating pieces that are as memorable as they are functional. The result is a collection that celebrates childhood through craftsmanship, storytelling and comfort.

A Distinctive Ceramic Sculpture from its New Collection
The Great Eastern Home continues to celebrate timeless artistry and exceptional craftsmanship with The Stallion, one of the most distinctive pieces from its newly launched ceramic collection. Handmade by skilled artisans at The Great Eastern Home’s workshop and glazed in-house, this sculptural creation reflects the brand’s commitment to preserving artisanal heritage while continuously redefining contemporary design possibilities.
Inspired by the grace and power of the horse, The Stallion captures the animal in its most regal and dignified stance. The sculpture beautifully highlights the fluid transition from the curve of the neck into the sculpted head, before sharpening into a strong, commanding jawline. Every contour is carefully shaped to convey movement, strength, and elegance, resulting in a piece that feels both artistic and deeply expressive.
Its rich, oceanic glaze further elevates the sculpture’s character. Flowing between tones of indigo, verdigris, and midnight black, the finish catches light differently from every angle, creating remarkable depth and visual intrigue. The constantly shifting tones lend the piece an almost living presence, making it a striking focal point within any interior setting.
Entirely handcrafted, no two pieces of The Stallion are ever identical, making each sculpture truly one of a kind. More than a decorative object, it stands as a collectible work of art that embodies craftsmanship, individuality, and timeless sophistication.
