The Parka seating collection is a fresh expression of customisation, offering homeowners the freedom to configure seating that perfectly suits their space. Its modular elements include 60º concave and convex armchairs—gently curved inward or outward—with the option of end armrests on either side.
Maxi versions of these modules are also available, ideal for larger gatherings or family settings. Whether arranged as sculptural standalone lounge chairs or combined into a sofa, the collection allows for both curved and linear configurations, adapting seamlessly to a variety of interior styles. Further enhancing its versatility, the Parka collection is available in full Pelle Frau leather or a refined mix of leather and fabric—with the outer shell in leather and the inner seating surfaces in fabric, all finished with elegant tone-on-tone stitching.

Above Design visionaries Draga & Aurel with the Parka sofa, their latest creation for Poltrona Frau—where sculptural form meets the spirit of ‘90s nostalgia, reimagined through Italian craftsmanship
Designed by the visionary duo Draga & Aurel—among the most influential names in design according to Architectural Digest, and selected for the third consecutive year in the AD100 review—the Parka seating collection draws inspiration from a quintessential ‘90s streetwear staple: the parka jacket. Their projects have been included in the ADI Design Index and have received the prestigious Wallpaper Design Award. Once a defining symbol of US grunge culture, the garment has evolved into a timeless icon, much like the sofa that bears its name. The Parka modular range channels this spirit of versatility and individuality, serving as a passe-partout piece that complements any interior style. Its soft contours and generous proportions, upholstered down to the floor, invite deep comfort and relaxation. At the heart of its design is a distinctive oval-shaped backrest that flows seamlessly into the armrest and seat—creating a concave or convex silhouette that feels both bold and inviting, effortlessly adapting to its surroundings with quiet confidence.
