Dashboards, pilot seats, and bespoke interiors for yachts, motorboats, and elite vessels.

In the nautical sector, design is shaped by precision, performance, and the ability to respond to complex technical and environmental requirements.
Poltrona Frau In Motion brings its expertise in materials, craftsmanship, and advanced technologies to projects where every detail must meet the highest standards. Working closely with yacht designers and shipyards, the company develops bespoke solutions for helm seats, dashboards, instrument panels, and interiors, combining refined materials with innovative processes and meticulous execution.
Each project is treated as a unique challenge, with coverings, finishes, and custom details designed to achieve a flawless result.
Poltrona Frau’s relationship with the sea began in the 1930s, with interiors for legendary ocean liners such as the Rex and the Conte Rosso. Poltrona Frau In Motion entered the nautical sector in 2006 with the Pershing 72, later extending its expertise to leading names in elite yachting including Pershing, Ferretti, Wally, and Riva.
The result is a distinctive vision of nautical interiors, where comfort, performance, luxury, and refinement come together in an unmistakable way.

What we do

Leather and upholstery
For over a century, Pelle Frau® has been the company’s signature material: a natural leather of exceptional strength and softness, developed directly with suppliers, available in countless forms, textures, weights and colours, and continually developed into new variants that are increasingly high-performing and sustainable.
One example is Pelle Frau® Pure Nappa chrome-free, tanned using natural tannins. Poltrona Frau In Motion also continues to explore innovative and emerging materials, with a particular focus on solutions derived from plant-based renewable sources and recycled raw materials.
This research is aimed at expanding the range of available alternatives while helping to reduce environmental impact.
All materials and upholstery solutions are designed and tested in compliance with the strict certifications required by the yachting sector before being presented to clients.
Seats
Across our four production sites, we develop seat upholstery from the first design sketch, carefully selecting leather, textures, and cutting solutions conceived to minimize waste. Our role goes beyond guidance on colours and finishes. Working in close co-design with each client, we develop the construction and stitching systems for seat covers, creating solutions that enhance both aesthetics and comfort — delivering a level of tactile and perceived quality that goes far beyond a conventional seat.

Dashboards and cockpits
One of the most technologically advanced and complex sectors, where design must respond to numerous technical constraints.
Upholstering a dashboard is a delicate and highly intricate process, as it must integrate with onboard instrumentation, climate control systems and safety systems.
Our experience enables us to interpret the needs of the client’s design department and align them with the engineering aspects of the project.
Every year, we develop dashboards and helm stations that combine the required aesthetic quality with full compliance with the strictest safety standards.
Interior upholstery
Thanks to our extensive experience in indoor and outdoor residential projects, we are able to customize the entire yacht environment, also in collaboration with our Poltrona Frau Custom Interiors Business Unit.
The interior is enhanced and elevated through solutions that make the best possible use of space without compromising on comfort, with upholstery and finishes that combine Italian craftsmanship and taste with advanced industrial processes.
Latest-generation fire-retardant technical materials and fabrics complement Pelle Frau® leather, creating a result of strong visual impact and exceptional functionality, capable of meeting the highest expectations.
Accessories
Every detail is part of the journey. We enhance the onboard experience through bespoke accessories designed to complement each project.
Depending on the type of car, aircraft or yacht, we can create made-to-measure sets of travel bags or luggage, either in the colours chosen by the client or coordinated with the interiors.
