Oct 20: Designers Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba return to Blisscape, the sofa system they created for Poltrona Frau last year, unveiling it during Milan Design Week in an even more complete and comfortable edition. The new version introduces an innovative 45°-tilted armchair designed to support every sitting position, ensuring maximum comfort. Taller, adjustable armrests, together with the deep chaise and pouf modules, allow for multidirectional compositions that are visually engaging. The system’s modularity has been further expanded, with new elements that integrate seamlessly with existing catalogue pieces. Completing the collection, the designers present a new series of Blisscape tables, providing additional surfaces and increasing the overall versatility of the compositions.
Poltrona Frau’s 2026 “True Over Time” collection highlights authenticity as a central value. At the heart of the brand’s philosophy is thoughtful design—rooted in tradition while anticipating future needs—accompanying the lives of those who choose it over time. This approach defines all Poltrona Frau products: pieces that endure, evolving with changing lifestyles without losing their essence, conveying a genuine sense of beauty and style—a vision of contemporary luxury that blends aesthetics and ethics.
Blisscape sofa exemplifies this philosophy perfectly. Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba are known for combining deep historical knowledge with a contemporary vision of society and modern living requirements. To meet the growing demand for personalized and diverse social spaces, they have enriched the Blisscape series with several new features, enhancing both usability and comfort.
The seat, now 10 cm deeper, and the 45°-tilted curved armchair are designed for taller users or anyone seeking a more relaxed posture. The vertical, generously sized armrest enhances the sofa’s “bathtub” effect, creating a sense of a private alcove. It consists of a large cushion folded outward, resting on a rigid structure wrapped in Pelle Frau® leather, curving elegantly along the side of the sofa. The armrest can also include an adjustable tilt mechanism.
The chaise terminal module allows for more open, asymmetrical layouts, comfortably accommodating up to two people. The Blisscape pouf, now available in deep versions, adds further flexibility: it can serve as a standalone piece opposite a linear sofa or be incorporated into a composition as informal seating, seamlessly integrating with one of the Blisscape tables.
The new Blisscape tables expand the sofa’s functionality, turning it into a truly multifunctional space. Surfaces, small shelves, coffee tables, and marble or Pelle Frau® leather storage elements allow for reading, conversation, relaxation, or work without compromising the collection’s elegance. The tables, available in round, rectangular, or square shapes, can be combined with each other and with sofas in multiple configurations: as side supports, coffee tables in front of seating, or integrated within the composition. While part of the Blisscape collection, the tables are fully compatible with other Poltrona Frau lines, ensuring limitless versatility.
These updates make Blisscape an even more inviting centerpiece in the living room, a customizable comfort oasis that adapts naturally to different needs and settings, offering a refined lounge experience.
The Blisscape table collection includes pieces suitable as side surfaces or stand-alone tables. Shapes are rectangular (90×45, 100×45, 150×40 cm), square (100×100 cm), or circular (120 cm diameter), with heights of 38 or 32 cm. The base is made of birch plywood and MDF covered in Pelle Frau® ColorSphere Impact Less leather. Only the 100×45 and 90×45 versions feature a black-painted MDF plinth with visible stitching. Tabletops are either birch plywood with Pelle Frau® ColorSphere Impact Less leather or 2 cm-thick marble slabs with rounded edges and reinforced undersides for durability.
The Blisscape collection will debut on April 14 at the Poltrona Frau flagship store in Milan, located at Via Manzoni 30. In the following months, the collection will be available at selected stores worldwide and through Poltrona Frau’s e-shops in key European markets.
