Frag steps into Milan Design Week 2025 with a renewed focus on material as method, showcasing new furniture pieces shaped by texture, structure, and surface experimentation. Rooted in over a century of artisanal know-how, the company continues to build on its reputation for craftsmanship and forward-thinking design by introducing a collection shaped by research, practicality, and modern aesthetics.
A New Take on the Clubby by Christophe Pillet
At the Mo.1950 showroom on Via Carducci 38, Frag introduces the dining version of its Clubby chair, originally designed by Christophe Pillet. Reimagined for the table, this version adapts the original’s enveloping curves and semi-circular backrest to suit a dining context without losing its refined presence. The cylindrical frame keeps the core structure intact while subtle height adjustments bring the piece into better proportion for seated meals.
Frag pairs this evolution with a new selection of fabrics developed through extensive research into tactile quality, color, and technical performance. These additions provide architects and designers with a broader palette to create distinctive compositions tailored to both residential and contract settings. The tactile diversity and chromatic depth invite new conversations between classic form and technical experimentation.
Introducing Cloti by Nicola Gallizia
Making its first appearance alongside Clubby Dining is Cloti, a lounge chair designed by Nicola Gallizia. The piece offers a contemporary reading of comfort, defined by soft curves and sculpted volume. Gallizia designs Cloti with a low, generous seat, cradled by a wide padded backrest and armrests that wrap around like a continuous ribbon. The overall silhouette balances fullness with gentle curvature, allowing the chair to carry presence without feeling heavy.
Cloti comes in multiple configurations to meet different design briefs. Designers can choose between fully upholstered versions in leather or fabric, or mixed-material variations with leather armrests and fabric cushions. The wooden frame options, natural ash, wenge, or walnut stain, extend the potential for customization, making Cloti adaptable to a wide range of interiors.
Expanding the Blyn Series
Frag also expands its Blyn collection, originally created by Oscar and Gabriele Buratti. Known for its precise geometry and refined leather finishes, Blyn returns with two new stool variations: Blyn B and Blyn C. Taller than the original seating, both stools retain the same clean structure and proportion, while offering increased versatility for hospitality and contract environments. The expansion maintains the collection’s quiet refinement while introducing new scale and use cases.
The Myon Tables, Reimagined
Another key addition to the 2025 offering is the refreshed Myon table series, also designed by the Buratti duo. With bases composed of solid cylindrical wood and topped with circular slabs, the tables focus on pure geometry and contrast. This year, Frag introduces tops in travertine and marble, providing an entirely new material language for the design.
While the base remains available in three wood finishes, the stone surfaces shift the table into a more tactile and elevated category. The veining and tonal variation of travertine give each table a distinctive presence, offering designers a chance to create focal points in rooms that demand subtle structure and polished finishes. The new materials update the original lacquered versions with richer texture and variation.
A Material-Focused Direction
This season, Frag sharpens its focus on material research as a primary design tool. The 2025 collection highlights a range of finishes, from advanced textiles and finely crafted leathers to structured wood and natural stone. The company uses these elements not just for visual contrast, but to explore different sensory and spatial outcomes.
