A culture of touch

Poltrona Frau has created a universe of experiences and sensory richness around leather upholstery, a signature element that now extends to the new collection of wardrobe systems for the bedroom

The culture of furnishing finds its full expression in Poltrona Frau‘s latest collection, which offers a refined and cohesive vision of the home as a complete and harmonious space. The company takes a significant step by introducing, for the first time, A wardrobe and walk-in closet system completing the bedroom collection. This project combines functionality and style, where the timeless elegance of Pelle Frau® leather meets artisanal mastery to tell a story of authentic craftsmanship, now applied to large-scale systems. In the new DressCove Night System, every detail reflects the care, quality of materials, and distinctive aesthetic that have always defined the brand.

Designed by architect Dante Bonuccelli, this modular system allows you to create walk-in closets and wardrobes in which the sophisticated softness of leather is enhanced and taken to the extreme. Combined with wood, other precious materials, or more technical elements like aluminum, leather characterises the wardrobe in all its components, from the uprights to the handles. The selection of shades is equally rich, drawing from a palette of eighteen Pelle Frau® ColorSphere® colors, virtually expanded by all the hues in the Pelle Frau® ColorSphere® leather collection. This allows for absolute personalisation and perfect integration with the company’s other products.

But the innovation of the DressCove Night System is not only aesthetic but also design-led, thanks to its extreme modularity and versatility. The DressCove Night System combines walk-in closets and traditional wardrobes with open or closed spaces using transparent and opaque materials, and includes both panel-based and upright-based solutions. The upright structure represents a freestanding solution for walk-in closets or an alternative to traditional panels for closed wardrobes with sliding or hinged doors, eliminating the dividing panels and giving the furniture a more airy and continuous look. The shelves, with their beveled profile and slightly rounded corners, can be made of wood in various essences or laminate, both edged in leather, or completely covered in Pelle Frau®.

The lighting has also been designed to enhance the material covering and its contents: in the case of panel-based wardrobes, the light is vertical, while in the upright configurations, the light is horizontal, positioned under the shelves. The DressCove Night System system is completed by a wide range of accessories, trouser racks, specialised compartments for shoes, bags, watches, and ties, as well as boxes and hangers, up to organisational containers: Cherish and Alcove. Both are extremely practical for storing bedding or accessories inside wardrobes and walk-in closets, helping to add to the sleeping area that same refined style that characterises the other rooms of the house.
