R Artists + Designers are those whose work we consistently find to be among the most innovative, iconic and finely crafted of their time. We have chosen to focus more closely on these designers as the core of our collection and our exhibition and publication program. <br> The historical designers include those whose work is widely recognized as setting the tone for the modernist movement worldwide, as well as those who were no less influential but whose work is only now coming to light. The contemporary designers in this group are individuals whose pieces we think represent exceptional new ways of working with materials in the design of forms for both function and sculpture.

Walk into their Williamsburg workshop and you'll find furniture that's been thoughtfully constructed by hand, piece by piece, using methods that prioritize durability over shortcuts. Tyler Hays, who trained as both a painter and sculptor, dreamed up the whole operation and continues steering its creative direction. Joshua Vogel, trained in architecture and skilled at the craft itself, runs the day-to-day work happening in their Brooklyn studio. What makes their pieces stick around for decades: solid domestic hardwoods joined using time-tested techniques, paired with finishes hand-rubbed in natural oils and lacquers that only get better with age. During the quieter winter months, the studio's intimate creative energy really shines through—you can actually watch craftspeople at work without the usual bustle. Their catalog spans beds, tables, chairs, lighting, and storage pieces. Some designs have become go-to classics, while they're always experimenting with fresh concepts that respect their core approach. Nothing here is mass-produced or disposable.

From its SoHo roots in 1989, this furniture house has quietly built a devoted following among design professionals and tastemakers who appreciate pieces that refuse to chase passing fads. What started as a gallery quickly expanded into a full manufacturing operation, allowing the founders—Monique and Sergio Savarese—to control every detail from concept through creation. Their work draws from an eclectic mix of dreams, historical moments, and far-flung travels, resulting in pieces that feel both timeless and distinctly personal. Critics have praised their ability to infuse warmth into contemporary forms, striking that rare balance where a sofa invites you to sink in and linger. Winter visitors to the showroom find themselves in a cozy refuge where each piece seems designed for long, comfortable hours indoors. The philosophy here centers on three non-negotiable elements: comfort you actually want to live with, beauty that doesn't fade, and construction that outlasts trends.

There have been a great many important moments in the history of Poltrona Frau, and they have all contributed in some way to creating the legend of this company that was founded in Turin and is today a citizen of the world.
