![š Ultrafragola
Mirror/lamp designed by Ettore Sottsass jr.
.
Ultrafragola mirror/lamp, with its sinuous profile that suggests long wavy hair, belongs to the Mobili Grigi series of complete bedroom and living room furnishings designed by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova and presented at the third edition of Eurodomus in 1970. With the exception of Ultrafragola, the models never got beyond the prototype phase.
Ā«As for the lights that are coming out of āThe grey furnitureā, donāt tombs always have a trembling light to illuminate the blue of the spirits wandering in the valley of dust? Donāt submarines have a trembling green light in their belly? The lights anyway are supposed to come out from the fibreglass bodies, like the everāglowing of the breastās white skin, like the everāglowing of the penis red head in pornographic nights, something of this kind: I mean something like the Japanese lights of the glow worm that are turning the nights into matter.Ā» [Ettore Sottsass jr., 1970]
