When two pillars of Italian design—Poltrona Frau, known for its exceptional leather craftsmanship since 1912, and Ceccotti Collezioni, masters of fine woodworking—join forces, the result is a masterclass in design synergy. For the new Duo Collection, the two heritage houses collaborate under designer Roberto Lazzeroni to create awe-inspiring furniture.
“This collaboration for the Duo Collection reinterprets bourgeois elegance with a contemporary edge, bringing together leather and wood in a way that elevates both materials and their makers,” says Amit Pai of Poltrona Frau India.
Roberto’s design philosophy doesn’t water down each brand’s DNA. Instead, he harmonises timeless appeal, and refined luxury into one unified aesthetic. Roberto has not diluted their identities, but has let each heritage shine, while shaping them into a cohesive collection.
The result is a suite of living-room and bedroom furniture—plush sofas, centre tables, and an exquisite bed framed by matelassé-stitched leather. The Duo Bed is perhaps the collection’s boldest statement. Finished in Pelle Frau leather, delicately quilted and floating on tapered L-shaped legs of ash, the bed is elegant yet grounded in craftsmanship. “The matelassé stitching is inspired by high-end leather goods—with detachable quilted panels, adding both beauty and versatility,” offers Amit.
Apart from the bed, the collection includes bedside tables, a vanity, valet stand, mirror and chest of drawers—all available either as a set or individually. “Where many series feel like disparate pieces, Duo feels like a narrative—a lifestyle in furniture form,” says Amit. If a client seeks discrete luxury, each piece stands strong. Yet together, they create a harmonious dialogue across living, dining, and bedroom zones.
Luxury is often loud, but Duo whispers. Every edge is rounded, every surface refined—the sofas have a sculptural yet understated presence, the tables themselves feel tactile. Leafy organic forms meet clean geometry; the tactile interplay between leather and wood is never showy—it’s the kind of elegance that lodges but doesn’t shout.
With Duo, your home will look as if it is curated over time, as each piece is a mood, a memory. It is not about trends or passing fads—but a timeless collection that bridges past and present, craftsmanship and comfort.
The Duo Collection is where tradition meets innovation. It is a marriage of Poltrona Frau’s leather mastery and Ceccotti Collezioni’s woodworking finesse resulting in transformative designs.
