Intervista Armchair by LELLA & MASSIMO VIGNELLI
The Intervista Armchair, designed by Elena Valle and Massimo Vignelli for Poltrona Frau, is one of the most recognizable chairs in the history of Italian design. Created in the late 1980s for the TG2 news studio, it represents a new way of understanding communication: no longer the rigid "half-bust" posture, but a full-figured stage presence, consistent with a more modern, natural, and audience-friendly television language. Hence, the choice of the name Intervista Armchair, which in Italian means "Interview."
The design of the Poltrona Frau Intervista Armchair stems from the evolution of the "tub" chair, reinterpreted with ergonomic care and formal sensitivity. Its structure ensures a composed, stable, and well-supported posture, designed to promote not only visual comfort but also clear, unforced phonetics: a key feature for the television context in which it was created. With its clean lines, enveloping profile, and welcoming seat, the Intervista armchair retains all the charm of great modern design. A timelessly beautiful, versatile, and refined model, ideal for both contract settings and the most sophisticated domestic spaces.
Dimensions and configurations of the Intervista Armchair
The Intervista Armchair is available in the classic dimensions that define its formal balance and ergonomic comfort: cm. 68x78x83h.
The Intervista Frau Armchair can be customized by choosing from some of the finest Pelle Frau® upholstery in a variety of colors. Each type of leather offers different textures, colors, and tactile sensations, allowing Intervista to be adapted to modern, institutional, or residential settings with maximum material coherence.
