8 Poliform collections
Chairs are bought in sixes, which makes them the piece where a small difference in grade turns into a large difference in total. They are also the piece people sit in before buying, and the one where that habit matters most.
Request a priceEmmanuel 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 house2014, 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 chairsJean-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 armchairsEmmanuel 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 branches2015, leather
Seattle borrows from shoemaking. The leather upholstery carries brogueing, the punched perforation used on British shoes, worked into the seams of a contemporary dining chair. The chair is from 2015, the counter stool from 2020.
Leather chairs and stools2017, fabric, leather
Sophie is the classic shape of a dining chair, redrawn with generous proportions: a solid seat inside an enveloping outline. In 2020 it gained a lighter sibling, Sophie Lite, and a stool at counter height.
Dining chairs and stools2018, 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 chairs2011, fabric, leather
Ventura is a fully upholstered dining chair built around one detail: the joint where the backrest meets the armrests, drawn as a continuous turn rather than a corner. The stool at counter height followed in 2016.
Upholstered chairs and stoolsWidth first. A chair that measures a few centimetres wider takes those centimetres six times over, and a table that seated six at a showroom seats five at home. We check the table before quoting the chairs.
Arms or none. Arms make a chair comfortable for a long dinner and stop it sliding under the table, which is how a dining room stays walkable. Many families offer both versions, and mixing them at the head of the table is normal.
Seat covering. Leather wipes clean and ages into the room; fabric is warmer and cheaper to replace; a wooden or woven seat is the lightest to move. For a house with small children, we usually quote the removable cover version whether or not it was asked for.
A Poliform stool is the same chair at counter height. If the kitchen has a counter, the stool from the same family keeps one line through the room, and counter height and bar height are not interchangeable. We ask for the counter measurement rather than the name.
