Poliform armchairs, lounge chairs and benches

Armchairs, lounge chairs and the Poliform bench, in one list. The piece people buy one of, then come back for a second. Poliform armchairs sit between the sofa and the window: small enough to move, made to be looked at from every side, which is why the back of one matters as much as the front.

Poliform Code

2019, glass

Code is the system that lets a living room wall be assembled rather than bought. Listed in 2019, it combines open and closed elements freely, carries on into the bedroom as bedside storage, and brings a bench that matches the rest.

Wall systems and sideboards

Poliform Curve

Emmanuel Gallina, 2022, fabric, leather

Curve is the widest family on this site: a chair, an armchair, a bed, a dining table and two stools, all drawn by Emmanuel Gallina around the same idea, which is that solid wood can be made to look light. The collection entered the catalog in 2022 and the stools joined it in 2024.

A wooden family that crosses the whole house

Poliform Ernest

Jean-Marie Massaud, 2024, fabric, leather

Ernest is Jean-Marie Massaud taking comfort to its limit, in 2024. The sofa is soft and deliberately deconstructed, built from modules rather than a single frame, and the armchair is one of those modules on its own.

Deconstructed modular seating

Poliform Gentleman

2019, fabric, leather

Gentleman is a set of armchairs, poufs and sofas that can stand alone or be grouped, listed from 2019. Three versions carry the name: Relax for sitting back, Reserved with a buttoned high back, and Single as the compact one.

Armchairs, poufs and small sofas

Poliform Home Hotel

2016, cord, elm

Home Hotel is a set of quiet pieces that pair freely: a bench, a console in black elm, a desk. The name explains the brief, furniture with the manners of a good hotel room, and the 2016 collection has stayed in the catalog because of it.

Benches, consoles and desks

Poliform Ipanema

2014, fabric, leather

Ipanema is the quiet workhorse of this catalog: an armchair from 2014 with a minimal structure and a properly padded seat, and a dining chair on a distinctive wooden frame that takes almost any cover the factory offers.

Armchairs and dining chairs

Poliform Jane

2017, fabric, leather

Jane is one chair drawn at three scales. The original armchair and low chair came in 2017 with soft curves and careful proportions, and in 2018 the family grew into Jane Large, with fuller volumes, and Jane Lounge, with a high back for reading.

Armchairs in three sizes and a bench

Poliform Ketch

Jean-Marie Massaud, 2023, glass, wood

Ketch is Jean-Marie Massaud's outdoor family for Poliform, listed in 2023: a sofa, an armchair, a sunbed and coffee tables on solid iroko frames. The back is stretched between two uprights the way a sail is stretched between masts, and the name says as much.

Iroko outdoor seating

Poliform Leopold

Jean-Marie Massaud, 2024, fabric, leather

Leopold is Jean-Marie Massaud's answer to a common complaint: dining chairs are made to be left after an hour. The chair arrived in 2024 as an enveloping cushion held in a minimal wooden structure, and the armchair followed in 2025 with the same idea and more volume.

Dining chairs and armchairs

Poliform Mad

2014, fabric, leather

Mad began in 2014 as a single enveloping armchair and became a family of five: Mad Chair, then King and Queen in 2015, then Joker and the asymmetrical Chaise Longue in 2016. Same language throughout, five different ways of sitting.

A family of five armchairs

Poliform Mad Out

Marcel Wanders, 2023, glass, rope

Mad Out is Marcel Wanders taking the round lines of the indoor Mad family outside, in 2023. The sofa and armchair are wrapped in woven rope over a frame, and the coffee tables carry tops in lava stone, in two finishes.

Woven outdoor seating

Poliform Magnolia

Emmanuel Gallina, 2023, wood

Magnolia arrived in 2023 as a full seating family by Emmanuel Gallina: a sofa, an armchair, chairs and a sunbed. The structure follows the way a branch grows, thin where it can be and thicker where the load is, which is how a wooden frame this slender carries an upholstered seat.

Wooden seating drawn from branches

Poliform Nara

2019, wood

Nara is the most useful object in this catalog: a solid wood block in two sizes that serves as a coffee table, a stool, a pouf or a bedside table depending on where it is put. The bench and the console from 2022 are the same idea stretched.

Solid wood pieces that move around

Poliform Orbis

2024, fabric, leather

Orbis is about enclosure. Two sofas and an armchair, listed in 2024, all built on a curved back that wraps around whoever sits in it, and in 2026 the Orbis Lounge added a cocoon chair with its own pouf and headrest.

Curved seating that encloses

Poliform Owen

Jean-Marie Massaud, 2025, fabric, leather

Owen is Jean-Marie Massaud looking back at mid-century design without copying it: fluid curves above, a strict architectural structure below. The sofa and the armchair arrived together in 2025.

Curved seating on a firm base

Poliform Park

2018, fabric, leather

Park 1 is one of the long running beds in this catalog, from 2018, and its headboard is not a panel at all: two oversized cushions do the work. The Park bench repeats the family's light lines on a metal frame.

A cushioned bed and its bench

Poliform Santa Monica

2011, cord, fabric

Santa Monica is the soft one. The armchair, from 2011, is feather filled and tailored, with enveloping forms and visible sartorial detail; the Lounge version from 2012 raises the back and adds a matching pouf.

Feather filled armchairs

Poliform Stanford

2018, fabric, leather

Stanford is built on a swivel base. The Bridge chair came first in 2018, a thin shell on a slender revolving structure; the armchair followed in 2019, and Stanford Lounge added a high back to the same base.

Swivel armchairs and chairs

Poliform Sunday

Flaviano Capriotti, 2023, fabric, leather

Sunday is Flaviano Capriotti's 2023 family, and the name is the brief: seating for the day nobody goes anywhere. Compact, upholstered, with backs that wrap around rather than stand up straight.

Compact enveloping seating

What separates one armchair from the next

Height of the arm. A low arm makes a chair read as a lounge piece and asks for a footstool; a high arm makes it an upright reading chair. The same collection often offers both, under the same name, and the photographs rarely make the difference obvious.

The shell. Some Poliform chairs are a wooden or metal frame with a cushion dropped into it, others are a single upholstered shell on a small base. The first shows its structure and ages visibly; the second is quieter in a room and harder to reupholster later.

Swivel or fixed. A swivel base turns a chair into a piece you can aim at the television or at the person you are talking to, and in an open plan room that is usually worth more than the extra cost.

One or two. Armchairs are ordered in pairs more often than any other piece here, and pairs are where fabric grade decisions get expensive. We quote one and two so the difference is visible before you decide.

From the catalog

An armchair is the one piece in a room that is seen from behind as often as from the front.
