Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, near Paris, is the location of the imposing new National Archives of France designed by architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas. Extending for an area of 80,000 m2 and featuring 320 km of shelves, it is an important building that will house all historical documents from the French Revolution onwards. The conference room is located in one of the six satellite annexes which, integrated with the main building, combine to form a luminous, light and transparent piece of architecture made from glass and lacquered aluminium. Poltrona Frau Custom Interiors developed the prototype of the Carla seat, designed and created for the 300-capacity conference room in the grandiose new archive centre.
In 2014, Poltrona Frau Custom Interiors designed together with the Airport Company the new project for the waiting area in the Departures Terminal. They provided the wooden pavement, the lighting system, bespoke and standard furniture pieces.

For the second assignment, a few years later, Poltrona Frau actively cooperated in the project, helping select the most suitable product, and decide the modifications required to satisfy the technological and aesthetic needs. The choice went for Fly_Air, a seating system designed by Progetto CMR and Poltrona Frau, and specifically conceived for airport waiting areas. This system represents a real innovation in this specific sector.

Responding to the needs of modern passengers when it comes to travel and waiting areas, the Fly_Air airport seat combines a comfortable and functional design with consummate elegance.

Poltrona Frau is a globally recognised brand in the travel industry. Waiting rooms are equipped with the highest levels of functionality, quality and durability and guarantee the necessary level of luxury and comfort that modern travellers expect in every airport.
