The Challenge: To translate the comfort, elegance and craftsmanship that define Poltrona Frau into the highly specialised world of aviation, creating a Business Class experience that reflects the standards of a premium leisure airline.

The Solution: Poltrona Frau In Motion developed the upholstery for the white Pelle Frau® Business Class seats designed by Optimares, contributing to the definition of the colour palette, material finishes and upholstery construction. Crafted from full-grain Pelle Frau® leather, the seats feature tailored stitching and a distinctive quilted backrest that enhance both ergonomic comfort and visual appeal, making the seat a defining element of the on-board experience.

The Result: Aboard beOnd Airlines’ first Airbus A319, Italian craftsmanship meets contemporary air travel. The project showcases Poltrona Frau In Motion’s ability to bring its expertise in leather upholstery to the aviation sector, combining technical performance, refined aesthetics and artisanal know-how to create interiors that enhance the passenger experience.
