Poltrona Frau launches leathercraft training programme
Leather furniture specialist Poltrona Frau has introduced Atelier dei Saperi (Atelier of Knowledge), a training initiative focused on preserving traditional craftsmanship. 

The programme is designed to pass down specialised leatherworking skills to younger generations, maintaining techniques that have been part of the company’s history for over a century.

Developed in collaboration with Regione Marche, IAL Marche Srl Impresa Sociale, Confindustria Macerata, and Assindustria Servizi Srl, with support from the GOL programme (Employability Guarantee for Workers), the initiative provides a 500-hour course for aspiring leathercraft designers. The curriculum includes theoretical lessons, practical workshops, and internships.

Tutors for the programme include two experienced Master Upholsterers from Poltrona Frau, supported by employees from across the company. The course combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, aiming to provide participants with skills relevant to the industry.

Launched in October 2024 and running until February 2025, the programme also aligns with broader efforts to support employment and skills development in the region.
