Italian ‘Dilly Dally’ Pouf by Luigi Massoni for Poltrona Frau, 1968 - 2 Available
An Italian 'Dilly Dally' pouf designed by Luigi Massoni for Poltrona Frau, 1968. Upholstered in supple leather, the circular form rests on four chrome casters, giving it an easy mobility and playful character. A deep buttoned cushion crowns the design, soft yet structured, and can be easily removed—its zip closure allowing for simple replacement of padding.
The cylindrical body is wrapped in Poltrona Frau’s signature full-grain leather, marked along the base with the maker’s stamp and original metal tag. Both modern and versatile, the pouf serves equally well as a footrest, extra seat, or sculptural accent within a room.

He also founded Mobile Italiano magazine and later Mobilia, an influential furniture and design association, cementing his role as both creator and commentator within Italy’s design culture.
