The King of the collection

On its own page Poltrona Frau's Insights text calls Archibald King the ultimate expression of majesty, comfort and dramatic design within the Archibald collection, an armchair of generous dimensions and commanding presence.

Settings named on the page

The same text names spacious living rooms, open-plan areas and villas, executive suites and meeting rooms, hotel lobbies and lounges, and home cinemas and entertainment areas, and says the armchair suits large living rooms, penthouses and minimalist spaces that need a statement piece.
