The Chester sofa celebrates the classic model of Edwardian England, revisited by Renzo Frau in the first catalogue in 1912 and inspired by the sofas and armchairs that populated English clubs and country houses at that time. One of the icons of the Poltrona Frau brand ever since, Chester stands out for its pleated armrests, an appropriate finishing touch for the rich capitonné processing of the leather, carried out entirely by hand.
Even before the Great War, Renzo Frau had already discovered the Chesterfi eld sofas and armchairs featured in London’s most exclusive clubs. He immediately saw the potentiality of that item and decided to initially import the original models to Italy and suddenly produce them himself, making some major changes. It was thus that Frau’s Chester was born in 1912 and hand-crafted, just as it is today.
