Superonda + Farfalla, dynamic sofa + fabric by Arc

Superonda + Farfalla, dynamic sofa + fabric by Archizoom, 5vie, Correnti 14, Milan Design Week 2022.
.
Centro Studi Poltronova presented a reading corner at 5vie Head Quarter, where it was possible to check out two volumes of the series The Monographs of Poltronova, Superonda: Archizoom Associati and the latest release Mies + Sanremo: Archizoom Associati. Everyone was able to relax browsing books on the iconic Superonda by Archizoom in the Farfalla indoor/outdoor version. A beat of the wings is enough to make the umpteenth version of the chair designed in 1966 to challenge conventions take off. In the butterfly and in the world of shiny sky, polka dots, chequered, flowers and stars, the anti-system art of American artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and, more generally, of Pop Art continues to develop. The Farfalla pattern, designed by Archizoom in 1968, was a reinterpretation in an acid, pop key of the floral theme that came from a much more composed tradition, and is now part of Poltronova's nascent fabric catalog.

“Florentine butterflies“
I have no idea how come, but I remember very well the reason why Massimo and I designed the fabric Le farfalle, “The Butterflies”, by Poltronova…
The idea was to make decorations with flowers, but crossed with pop patterns, like Lichtenstein's, that imitated printers’ designs, creating (in our intent) a contrast between the floral theme and the "pop" theme…
In reality, the result was a lively fabric but not as acid as we expected; the “Over-the-Top Generation” of Archizoom was not yet mature… (Andrea Branzi, 2022)

Sanremo, floor lamp by Archizoom, Elle Decor Desig

Sanremo, floor lamp by Archizoom, Elle Decor Design Forever, Palazzo Bovara, Milan Design Week 2022.
.
Studio Calvi Brambilla choosed Poltronova for Palazzo Bovara. The exhibition curated by one of the most eclectic and interesting realities of the Italian scene, showed PASSIFLORA by Superstudio in the Pure Room.
The PASSIFLORA lighting fixture originated from a cardboard model painted for the exhibition “Superarchitecture” (1966) manifesto of Radical Design. The cardboard was replaced by a material transparent to light, transforming Passiflora into a luminous column trunk: a column whose deformed shape oscillates between the natural and the artificial, in a game of allusions and ambiguity, corresponding to Superstudio's declaration of intent, summarized in the text Design d'invenzione e design d'evasione.
