Poltrona Frau and Leica Camera AG present custom design product of Designer Home Cinema Furniture

The special edition of the Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet, featuring an integrated screen, has been designed specifically for the Leica Cine 1 (100”) laser TV

Italian designer furniture maker Poltrona Frau and Leica Camera AG are announcing their collaboration at the Milan Design Week 2025. With a special edition of the Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet from Poltrona Frau’s collection, the two manufacturers from the premium segment are presenting a stylish home cinema solution that has been specially designed for the smart Leica Cine 1 laser TV, which comes with a 100” projection screen. The Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet designed by Roberto Lazzeroni in 2018, represents an absolute highlight in interior design: sophisticated elegance meets innovative technology, transforming home entertainment into an unmatched cinematic experience with Leica premium image quality.

As a custom edition, Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet has been customised to suit the Leica Cine 1, in addition to being adapted to its functionality. When switched on, the laser TV automatically sets the optimum projection distance, with the integrated, motorised screen extending simultaneously. When the Cine 1 is switched off, the screen completely retracts into the top of the cabinet, and the piece of furniture reveals its elegant original design. Just like the Leica Cine 1, which won the iF design Award for its product aesthetics, the Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet impresses with its high-quality materials. The substructure and the top cabinet are made of birch plywood and ash. The drawer fronts and the sides of the cabinet are covered with high-quality Pelle Frau® Saddle leather, featuring either contrasting or tone-on-tone stitching. The cable duct is integrated into the multimedia cabinet, thereby simplifying the process of connecting electronic devices via a removable plate at the back. Adjustable feet made of solid ash wood with rubber toe caps, positioned centrally under the two side drawers, complete the Poltrona Frau | Leica Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet, highlighting the design’s lightness and openness.

Matthias Harsch, CEO of Leica Camera AG: "Our collaboration with Poltrona Frau seamlessly blends Leica’s precision engineering with the refined elegance of Italian craftsmanship. Integrated into the Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet, the Leica Cine 1 offers an exclusive home cinema experience - combining cinematic excellence, extraordinary design, and a unique living ambiance." 

“With the home cinema version of the Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet, Poltrona Frau confirms its commitment to harnessing contemporary trends and lifestyles – says Nicola Coropulis, CEO of Poltrona Frau – in order to offer an all-encompassing living experience, which is not limited to single pieces of furniture, but which aims to create an ideal environment for every at-home occasion. In this spirit, we have chosen Leica for its unrivaled expertise in optical precision and cutting-edge projection technology, ensuring an immersive and high-quality visual experience."

The Leica Cine 1 is an ultra-short-throw laser TV that brings cinematic quality right into your own home. With its innovative triple-RGB laser technology, the laser TV produces exceptionally bright and vivid images, with a lifespan of over 25,000 hours. The Summicron lens, which was developed according to the legendary Leica Standards, ensures unparalleled optical performance. The advanced technology is complemented by Leica Image Optimization (LIO™), which ensures superior colour accuracy, contrast and image sharpness. Together with Atmos® surround sound, it creates a truly authentic cinematic atmosphere. Its smart TV features allow for seamless connection with streaming platforms, voice control and Apple AirPlay to enable a fully integrated entertainment experience.

The Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet for the Leica Cine 1 (100”) is now available worldwide in all Poltrona Frau flagship stores and from selected authorised retailers, as well as online from the Poltrona Frau e-shop in chosen European countries. Further information is available at: www.poltronafrau.it.

The Leica Cine 1 is available in Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store and from selected TV/hi-fi and home cinema retailers in Europe, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, China, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The  Fidelio Multimedia Cabinet and the Leica Cine 1 are designed to work together but are sold separately.
