Poltrona Frau, Second half of the 60. In the second half of the 1960s, Poltrona Frau created an internal structure to manage research and development. Whilst preserving the know-how of expert craftsmanship, the Centre for Research and Development experiments with new material, new building techniques and creates new forms. The highly specialised design technicians that make up the group benefit from a superbly equipped prototype laboratory, where they can give form to new ideas. Products and raw material are tested in the Analysis and Experimentation Laboratory, a very efficient structure for the fine-tuning of high-quality products conforming international norms.

The Oxford visitor armchair is designed for those who wish to offer guests, clients or colleagues a seat that immediately conveys quality, attentiveness and authority. Inspired by prestigious English office chairs from the early twentieth century, it reinterprets the classic design language of the Oxford collection in a version created for the more interpersonal spaces of the office environment. The seasoned beechwood frame, Pelle Frau leather upholstery and internal button-tufted detailing create a refined and distinctive aesthetic, ideal for settings where first impressions matter as much as functionality.

 

In a professional practice or executive office, the Oxford visitor armchair is particularly well suited to those who want to create continuity between their own workstation and the area reserved for guests. Positioned in front of an imposing desk, in an interview room or in a dedicated visitor area, it helps establish a coherent, distinguished and carefully curated image, avoiding the contrast between a prestigious executive chair and more anonymous, standard visitor seating. It is therefore an ideal solution for those who consider hospitality an integral part of their professional identity.

 

In meeting rooms, this armchair works particularly well when an elegant, traditional atmosphere is desired, especially in settings where personal relationships, consultancy and professional representation play an important role. It is suited to those seeking seating for formal meetings and professional conversations that offers both comfort and presence without introducing an overly technical aesthetic. It is particularly effective in law firms, notary offices, financial and consulting practices, and management offices, where the design language of the furnishings helps reinforce trust and convey professionalism.

 

The Oxford visitor armchair also fits naturally into premium waiting areas and reception spaces. In these environments, it meets the needs of those who want to communicate a high standard of professionalism from the very first moment, with particular attention to materials and proportions. It is ideal for making waiting areas feel more welcoming and distinguished, transforming a simple seat into a statement piece that conveys attention to detail, solidity and style.

 

From a stylistic perspective, this armchair works beautifully in classic and modern-classic interiors, as well as professional environments featuring wooden desks, substantial bookcases, wood panelling, textured rugs and warm colour palettes. Its fixed base in medium walnut-stained wood makes it particularly well suited to spaces that value material richness and design heritage. It is therefore an excellent choice for those seeking visitor seating that reinforces the formal and prestigious character of an environment without making it feel rigid or detached.

 

The Oxford visitor armchair is also an appealing choice for those who wish to enhance the perceived quality of one-to-one meetings. During an interview, a private consultation or a small meeting, a carefully selected chair helps create a more thoughtful and reassuring experience. In this respect, it is ideal for those who want to welcome people into an environment that feels authoritative yet comfortable, where the seating contributes to a professional atmosphere without appearing impersonal.

 

For those designing professional hospitality spaces or representative offices, this armchair can also serve as a unifying element across different areas, including private offices, meeting rooms, waiting rooms and reception areas.
