Frag’s Leather Craft Meets Contemporary Design in Friuli Venezia Giulia

Frag, a company rooted in Friuli Venezia Giulia, leverages its traditional leather craftsmanship to refresh its brand identity. A 2017 catalog showcased designs by Calvi Brambilla, Michele di Fonzo, Kensaku Oshiro, Ferruccio Laviani, Mist-O, Gordon Guillaumier, and Christophe Pillet. The marcapunto saddle stitch appears as a unifying thread across pieces like the Nisida chair, Lilly chair, Dante table, Argor table, Bak Family collection, and Woodpecker coat rack. The Italian-Japanese duo experiments with steel and concrete (Atelier table) and wooden profiles (Caribou table). Gordon Guillaumier’s Twain desk and Comb tables eliminate stitching, letting leather dominate. Christophe Pillet’s Sahrai and Square armchairs emphasize geometry and function. The collection blends modern technology with artisanal skill.
