$🍬 Plasma Armchair and footrest by Nigel Coates . In the context of Nigel Coates’ growing interest in furniture, the Plasma armchair reflects the English designer’s taste for designing essential forms by digital means. Composed of a set of cushions in different tones placed on a slender metal structure with harmonious curves, Plasma combines the simplicity of a continuous graphic sign with the complex technology of the structure, made with computerized methods of bending and welding. With a footrest, it is also available for outdoor use. . . . . . . #poltronova #archizoom #nigelcoates #plasma #plasmaarmchair #plasmachair #radicaldesign #popdesign #design #italiandesign #madeinitaly #chair #armchair#cushions #interior . . . music track by @infractionimhere$

🐌 Gherpe
Table lamp designed by Superstudio
.
The Gherpe table lamp does not belong to the traditional typologies of lighting fixtures placed on a surface, due to its form like the shell of a marine creature, and to its use of an industrial material like methacrylate. It represents one of the first examples of an interactive luminous object, which thanks to its relationship with the user is capable of changing its tone: from white light for illumination, to colored light to alter the emotional perception of a space.

🌊 Superonda
dynamic sofa by Archizoom Associati
.
Designed in 1967 by the Florentine Radical group Archizoom, this was the first sofa without a conventional frame. It is composed of two waves made from a polyurethane block cut into two parts with an S—shaped incision, which can be interlocked and stacked to produce different configurations. The lightness and modular design permit a range of various uses: Superonda can be a sofa, a bed or a chaise longue. Like many of the pieces designed by the Archizoom group, it challenges bourgeois conventions, stimulating the creativity and fantasy of the user. The shiny leatherette cover in the basic colors of white, black and red accentuates the pop image.

💭 Rumble: playful sofa by Gianni Pettena
.
The design of this sofa derives from the experience of living in a large place, originally a 19th century atelier for artists, where the furniture had to be conceived on the scale of the place and not on a human scale. It is an object that dialogues with the volume of the overall space and takes into account the fact that that is where it is used. The sofa is a simple, original form, a womb where everything happens or has already happened, but which still suggests possibilities, other things that can happen there. It is an object that breaks up form as it breaks up function; it acquires meaning when the clean geometry of the initial status quo is upset by equally ungrammatical functions.

🥢 Canton
Bench designed by Franco Raggi
.
The Canton wooden bench, designed by Franco Raggi in 1988, fitted out with two spaces on the sides—containers for magazines, books and phone directories, still in use at the time—ideally designed for home entrances, «was born, —Franco Raggi writes—, from a graphic exercise: a black line which in its continuous path creates two squares connected by a horizontal line. Dragging this line into the third dimension, I realised that the solid thus obtained could be a bench, not a comfortable seat, but for temporary use, where ergonomics could be sacrifice in favour of an abstract, almost neoplastic image. Books and things could be put in the squares transformed into open compartments.»
.
After putting the project in their catalogue — in the usual philological fashion — Centro Studi Poltronova, together with the architect Franco Raggi, has brought out a new version of Canton, in two combinations, red and green, blue and orange, each with a positive and a negative version.

🚙 Autostrada
Rug system designed by Lapo Binazzi
.
Signed for Poltronova by Lapo Binazzi, Autostrada is exactly what it promises: a roadway modulated in curves and straight lines, available in the three different colour combinations in the version reissued by the visionary Florentine designer on the basis of a drawing kept in the archives of the Centro Studi Poltronova per il Design. Produced in a single copy by Poltronova in 1990 on the occasion of the exhibition Il Dolce Stil Novo (della casa) curated by Andrea Branzi at the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, the rug returns to show itself as one of the objects that were put on display to investigate the central dimension of the project, the home, “that is, our survival within the artificial universe, within the violence and vulgarity of the times, in the uprooting accomplished by the intrusive flows of information”.

⭐️ Tappeto Stella & Stellina
Rug design by D’Urbino Lomazzi
Made by @poltronova with @cc_tapis
.
The star symbol, often used in team sports to indicate victories in particular competitions, has always been a distinguishing feature of the Joe armchair designed by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi. First branded on leather, then embroidered in special editions in denim and faux fur, today it is the generating sign of the rugs dedicated to the iconic armchair. Stella and Stellina, in grey and navy blue hues, are a tribute to the historic uniform of the New York Yankees, just as the armchair for which the star was born is itself a tribute to a myth of American popular culture, the key player of the New York team, Joe DiMaggio.

💚🩷 Tappeto Sofo 🩷🧡
Rug design by Superstudio
Made by @poltronova with @cc_tapis
.
Dedicated to the homonymous hyperpop modular system by Superstudio, the Sofo rug is the result of research in the archives of Centro Studi Poltronova. Its shape is none other than the marking, designed in the 1960s by the same members of Superstudio, which characterized the product’s shipping packages. A composition of concentric circles with, in the central part, typographic shapes of a geometric nature declaring the name of the product. The rug is available in two variants that take up the typical colour scores of the sofa: verosa and rosancio.

🌼 Tappeto Prato
Rug design by Archizoom Associati
Made by @poltronova with @cc_tapis
.
Prato is one of the three hand-tafted wool rugs inspired by the Farfalla pattern designed by the Archizoom group in 1967 in their quest for an acid contrast between the floral, art nouveau decor and the experimentation that was taking place in Pop Art in those years. Three reinterpretations, in three different forms, of the main parts that made up the original pattern. Prato is characterized by an explosion of primary colours and simple, geometric shapes spanned by decorative motifs-typical of the productions of artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol-such as checks and oblique stripes.

Signed for Poltronova by Lapo Binazzi, Autostrada is exactly what it promises: a roadway modulated in curves and straight lines, available in the three different colour combinations in the version reissued by the visionary Florentine designer on the basis of a drawing kept in the archives of the Centro Studi Poltronova per il Design. Produced in a single copy by Poltronova in 1990 on the occasion of the exhibition Il Dolce Stil Novo (della casa) curated by Andrea Branzi at the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, the rug returns to show itself as one of the objects that were put on display to investigate the central dimension of the project, the home, “that is, our survival within the artificial universe, within the violence and vulgarity of the times, in the uprooting accomplished by the intrusive flows of information”.

🦄 ULTRAFAVOLA: Poltronova beyond the mirror
Milano Design Week 2023
.
On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2023, Centro Studi Poltronova renews its synergy with Mosca Partners for Design Variations, this time crossing the threshold of the Palazzo del Circolo Filologico Milanese in the heart of the Brera Design District. From 17 to 23 April, the Tuscan company will take centre stage. In the large and evocative Liberty Hall, under the luminous eye of a suggestive skylight, in a maze of rooms suspended in space and time, iconic objects and unusual new proposals will be displayed as if they had jumped out of one of the over ten thousand volumes of the library of the city's oldest cultural association that has its headquarters here. With ULTRAFAVOLA, inspired by its own “best seller”, the Ultrafragola mirror designed by Ettore Sottsass, the Centro Studi Poltronova, just like in Lewis Carroll's novel Through the Looking Glass and what Alice Found There, invites you to go beyond reflective surfaces to discover the magical dimension of part of its fantastic product catalogue.

For “The Art of Light”, the tenth anniversary of Elle Decor at Palazzo Bovara, Studio Giuliano Andrea dell’Uva, in collaboration with Metis Lighting, chose Poltronova. The project, curated by two of the most refined and innovative organisations on the Italian scene, presents SOFO, in the sofa and in the armchair version (Superstudio), the T02 coffee table (Superstudio) and the RUMBLE sofa (Gianni Pettena). . Color Experience. One of the focal themes of ‘The Art of Light’ exhibition is the relationship between light and colour, together with the refraction of light on surfaces and textiles. In the room in which the Rumble (Gianni Pettena) stands, white light projectors gradually bring out the royal blue colour of the historic Casentino cloth with which the sofa is upholstered. The design of this item derives from the experience of living in a large place, originally a 19th-century atelier for artists, where the furniture had to be conceived on the scale of the place and not on a human scale. It is an object that breaks up form as it breaks up function; it acquires meaning when the clean geometry of the initial status quo is upset by equally ungrammatical functions. . . . . . #poltronova #giannipettena #rumble #rumblesofa #metislighting #milandesignweek2023 #milanodesignweek2023 #milan #design #mdw2023 #elledecoritalia #theartoflight #radicaldesign #popdesign #design #italiandesign #madeinitaly$

Disco Room.
Correctly catching its playful vein, Sofo (Superstudio) becomes the protagonist of a room dedicated to the private disco of an art collector. The block obtained by means of an “S” cut from a polyurethane cube, covered with a fabric furrowed by two large stripes, in two different versions, Rosancio and Verosa, can be lined up like a train or stacked like a tower. The outcome is always an abstract and colourful ambience that conveys joie de vivre and fun.

🦄 ULTRAFAVOLA: Poltronova beyond the mirror
Milano Design Week 2023
.
On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2023, Centro Studi Poltronova renews its synergy with Mosca Partners for Design Variations, this time crossing the threshold of the Palazzo del Circolo Filologico Milanese in the heart of the Brera Design District. From 17 to 23 April, the Tuscan company will take centre stage. In the large and evocative Liberty Hall, under the luminous eye of a suggestive skylight, in a maze of rooms suspended in space and time, iconic objects and unusual new proposals will be displayed as if they had jumped out of one of the over ten thousand volumes of the library of the city's oldest cultural association that has its headquarters here. With ULTRAFAVOLA, inspired by its own “best seller”, the Ultrafragola mirror designed by Ettore Sottsass, the Centro Studi Poltronova, just like in Lewis Carroll's novel Through the Looking Glass and what Alice Found There, invites you to go beyond reflective surfaces to discover the magical dimension of part of its fantastic product catalogue.

🟪🟧 Sofo 🟩🟪
Armchair and sofa designed by Superstudio
.
Sofo is a seat to place in a row, like a train, or to stack to build solid, colorful mountains. It is simply a block made with an S—shaped cut from a cube of polyurethane, covered with fabric featuring two large stripes. The result of a very simple operation, without wasted material or thought. It presents itself as a compact, abstract, colorful object that communicates the joy of living, like things that arrive from another world.

Turn on, Tune in, Drop by… Design Variations

By Francesca Pittalis

All News, Exhibitions, Poltronova, Press

Milano Design Week 2022
Turn on, Tune in, Drop by… Design Variations by Mosca Partners
Palazzo Visconti, via Cino del Duca 8, Milan

Centro Studi Poltronova presents
SUPERONDA + TERRAZZO Archizoom Associati + Bethan Laura Wood
PLASMA Nigel Coates
ULTRAFRAGOLA Ettore Sottsass jr.
as part of a specific exhibition entitled “Turn on, Tune in, Drop by”.

A rococo palace as a home for the contemporary. To bring together values and aesthetics, symmetries and decorative games, radicalism and richness of detail, CENTRO STUDI POLTRONOVA will be meeting PALAZZO VISCONTI for DESIGN VARIATION as part of MILANO DESIGN WEEK 2022. SUPERONDA, PLASMA, ULTRAFRAGOLA are the three significant pisces chosen from the collection for their ability to enhance the genius loci and bear witness to the extraordinary workshop of ideas that the Tuscan company has represented in the world since 1957.

The special edition of SUPERONDA by Archizoom, in the new TERRAZZO version, the pattern designed by Bethan Laura Wood, definitively launches the Poltronova Research Centre also in the field of fabrics. This eccentric and multicoloured pattern is now in the catalogue and can be used both for the modular sofa and for other products. The evolution of Poltronova products, whose roots lie in Pop culture and design free from constructs, is in fact experimented with in terms of both form and materiality, which meticulous craftsmanship makes original and precious.

Touch is also the sense evoked by PLASMA, the armchair designed by Nigel Coates that expresses the English designer’s vocation for creating essential forms through digital design. The installation rewrites the place, it is the “variation” for a different interpretation of the space, which becomes one with the product. A transversal narration of great historical value.

The iconic ULTRAFRAGOLA mirror by Ettore Sottsass jr. completes CSP’s proposal for Palazzo Visconti. The exhibition “reflects”, in this way, the contemporary scene, with the old and the new as necessary and complementary factors for understanding the complexity of a design, an action, a theme, an experience, to make them live fully.
