The Squash armchair blends generous, snug contours with a captivating sculptural elegance. The collection captivates with its playful and sensual name, embodying a soft and sculptural approach to design. Designed by acclaimed British artist Faye Toogood in collaboration with Poltrona Frau, Squash is more than just a piece of furniture; it’s an invitation to experience comfort and artistry in perfect harmony. Comfortable and cosy at first glance, the exuberant yet gentle forms of the Squash armchair interact with a mix of soft and rigid materials, disrupting the static essence of traditional furniture.

Crafted with a rigid trestle frame made of Polimex, Squash boasts large, soft cushioning upholstered in Pelle Frau or a combination of leather and fabric with removable covers. The frame and legs, lightly padded for a pleasant touch, are upholstered in luxurious leather. The seat and armrest cushioning are made from polyester wadding and differentiated-density polyurethane foam, ensuring maximum comfort. The seat base, constructed from birch plywood, adds to the chair’s sturdy yet refined structure. The Squash collection is set to land in the UAE market this November at Downtown Design
