Nicola Coropulis has stepped down as chief executive of Poltrona Frau after ten years in the role, transitioning to a strategic advisory position tied to the brand and its sister company Ceccotti. The change reshuffles leadership at one of Italy’s most storied furniture houses.
Coropulis oversaw a decade in which Poltrona Frau navigated the consolidation of Italian luxury furniture, expanding its leather-goods presence and strengthening its position within the Haworth-owned portfolio.
The advisory role keeps his institutional knowledge inside the group while opening the CEO seat to new leadership — a common Italian solution that preserves continuity without freezing succession.
His departure arrives as the luxury interiors market recalibrates after a post-pandemic boom, with commercial clients weighing costs more carefully and residential demand normalizing.
