Poltrona Frau is celebrating six decades of Gio Ponti’s iconic Dezza armchair with a stunning limited edition release, proving that true design never fades—it only evolves. First introduced in 1965, the Dezza has remained a staple of refined living, blending mid-century modern lines with plush comfort. This anniversary edition elevates its legacy, pairing Ponti’s signature playful elegance with modern sustainability.

The chair is wrapped in the brand’s eco-conscious Pelle Frau Impact Less leather and embodies Poltrona Frau’s commitment to ethical luxury. The rich Panna and Iris blue hues draw inspiration from the vibrant interiors Ponti created for the Hotel Parco dei Principi in Sorrento, while the hand-drawn upholstery pattern—sourced from an unpublished Ponti illustration—turns each piece into a collector’s dream. With 26 whimsical hand motifs gracing the leather, from ‘the fortune teller’s hand’ to ‘the gloved hand,’ this chair isn’t just seating—it’s storytelling.

Beyond aesthetics, the Dezza retains its unmistakable form: angular yet inviting, with sculptural armrests and perfectly poised legs. A testament to Italian craftsmanship, each of the 60 limited pieces is individually numbered and accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity. Available exclusively through Poltrona Frau’s e-shop in select European markets until April 1st, the Dezza 60th Anniversary Edition will soon reach retail locations worldwide. If you want to own a piece of design history, this is your moment.
