Story

Compact and rational

Thea is described through its geometry: compact and rational shapes with contained and comfortable volumes. Poltrona Frau credits the design to Foster + Partners Industrial Design, and the seat guarantees users an ergonomically correct posture.

Made for rows

The seat is installed on metal feet in straight or curved rows. Its upholstery is made entirely by hand with traditional methods and finished with tone-on-tone stitching.
