Leopold by Poliform

Inspired by the chair of the same name, the Leopold armchair is distinguished by a generous and enveloping cushion, enclosed in a minimal wooden structure that emphasises its volume and visual lightness. A perfect balance between sophisticated design, functionality and timeless elegance.

The Leopold armchair by Jean-Marie Massaud for Poliform, available in New Zealand from Studio Italia.

Designed by Jean-Marie Massaud in 2025, the Leopold armchair is a continuation of the earlier design language of the Leopold dining chair. Consisting of an enveloping cushion enclosed in a minimalist wooden frame, the Leopold chair transforms moments of conviviality into delightful and graceful experiences.
