Design philosophies that transcend borders. A sense of place that maintains its pride despite the advances of the growing global village. The new FurnItalia at The Fort greets its visitors with the showcase of its flagship brand, Poltrona Frau. This display shows that like many modern cities around the world such as Paris and Milan, the handcrafted furniture pieces also belong in the homes and offices of Manila’s privileged and powerful.

The first floor in FurnItalia’s three-storey glass building is done in the same manner as the showrooms of Poltrona Frau stores around the world. Each vignette combines the serious and playful, the modern and traditional, the elegant and bold in settings that capture the romantic air of Paris, the carefree spirit of Miami and the subdued tones of Tokyo. Poltrona Frau models from the 19th century mix flawlessly with the designs of modern minds in this uniquely conceived space. When you visit, look for the hardworking FurnItalia managing director Florence Ko who’s the best person to consult when it comes to choosing the perfect Italian furniture. Style is yours to keep!
