More than a bench. A drawing brought to life.

Canton: wooden bench by Franco Raggi @francoraggistudio, 1988

Some designs don’t need to move to captivate us. They simply wait for the right moment to appear.
Designed by Franco Raggi for Poltronova in 1988, Canton is much more than a bench. It is an architectural idea, born from a simple sketch of two connected squares. By extending that single black line into three dimensions, Raggi transformed a graphic concept into a functional sculpture where geometry becomes the true protagonist.

Created for the entrance of the home, Canton also reflects the way we once lived. Its open side compartments were designed to hold magazines, books, and even telephone directories, turning everyday objects into part of the composition rather than something to hide.
In 2023, Centro Studi Poltronova, working alongside Franco Raggi, faithfully reissued Canton with a philological re-edition. The original design remains untouched, while bold contemporary colour pairings. Red and green. Blue and orange. Available in both positive and negative versions. The result is a timeless icon with renewed energy for contemporary interiors.

This reel celebrates that same transformation. One snap, and Canton appears. Another, and it disappears. Like a drawing stepping out of the page before quietly returning to a single line.
The most memorable design isn’t always the loudest. Sometimes, it changes a space simply by being there.

SPIN FASTER. ↻

How fast can you make it spin? 👀
Tap the button, imagine giving it another push, and watch Cessato Allarme come to life. Because sometimes even a coat stand deserves a little drama.
Designed to rotate, collect, organize and surprise, Cessato Allarme transforms an everyday object into something playful, kinetic and unexpectedly theatrical. Hanging bags suddenly become part of the composition, while its rotating upper section invites interaction almost as if it were asking to be played with.

Cessato Allarme clothes-stand by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi, 1991.

The Cessato Allarme clothes stand, created in 1986 by the De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi studio and put into production by Poltronova in 1991, takes its name from the Italian expression meaning “All Clear!”—the signal announcing the end of an air-raid alert during World War II. Its inspiration comes from the warning trumpets once mounted on street poles, yet there is nothing military about its character.
Made entirely of painted metal and available in vibrant colours, Cessato Allarme replaces anxiety with optimism. It turns a functional object into a joyful presence, embracing the playful language that has always distinguished Italian design. As Paolo Lomazzi later suggested, its name becomes a metaphorical invitation to “go and blow the trumpets again,” celebrating creativity, freedom and the pleasure of living with design.

More than a coat rack or clothes stand, it is a collectible design object that brings movement into the home. Every rotation changes the composition. Every bag, jacket or hat becomes part of the project. Functional, sculptural and unmistakably Poltronova.
Designed by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi and produced by Poltronova, Cessato Allarme continues to embody the spirit of innovative Italian furniture design, where irony, experimentation and everyday functionality coexist in a single iconic object.

Now... be honest.

Did you click to make it spin faster? 😉

RING RING. ☎️ Design is calling. Are you picking up?

Some phone calls change your day. Others changed the history of design.

What looks like a playful joke is actually one of the most revolutionary sofas ever conceived.

Originally designed by Archizoom Associati for Poltronova in 1967, Superonda overturned the very idea of what a sofa could be. Rather than prescribing a single way of sitting, it introduced freedom. Made from just two wave-shaped polyurethane blocks, it can be endlessly recomposed into a sofa, a chaise longue, a bed, two independent seats or countless unexpected configurations. There is no “correct” way to use it—only the one you invent.

Created during the birth of the radical Italian design movement, Superonda rejected the rigid functionalism that had defined furniture until then. It transformed the domestic landscape into something fluid, playful and constantly evolving, proving that design could question conventions instead of simply following them.

More than half a century later, Superonda remains one of the most influential icons of twentieth-century design, still produced in Italy by Poltronova with the same experimental spirit that made it a cultural landmark.

And yes… apparently, it still answers calls.

Our 1:8 Superonda Miniature faithfully reproduces the proportions, geometry, colours and modular composition of the original design, allowing collectors, architects, museums, universities, galleries, design schools and enthusiasts to experience one of the greatest icons of Italian design from an entirely new perspective.

Small enough to fit in your hands.
Big enough to change the way you think about furniture.

ESCLUSIVO | INCLUSIVO

What if a landscape became something you could sit on?

Selected for ESCLUSIVO | INCLUSIVO, the design exhibition by @edit.napoli in collaboration with @jumeirahcapripalace and @comunedianacapri, Terrazzo Quarry by @bethanlaurawood transforms Villa Rosa into an inhabitable landscape where contemporary design meets the Mediterranean setting of Anacapri.

Inspired by the ever-changing compositions of Venetian terrazzo, the collection translates fragments of stone into a vibrant textile and an equally vibrant family of sculptural seating elements. Rock 1, Rock 2, Rock 3, Wedge and Pad can exist independently or come together as a modular landscape that encourages gathering, resting, play and conversation.
As Poltronova’s first contemporary product developed beyond its historical archive, Terrazzo Quarry continues the company’s tradition of experimentation, proving that its radical attitude is not confined to the past but remains an ongoing way of imagining how we live with design.

Within ESCLUSIVO | INCLUSIVO, the project becomes part of a wider dialogue where craftsmanship, hospitality and contemporary research coexist, making Villa Rosa itself an experience to inhabit.

ESCLUSIVO | INCLUSIVO

Some objects don’t simply inhabit a house. They redefine the way we inhabit it.

Selected for ESCLUSIVO | INCLUSIVO, the design exhibition by @edit.napoli in collaboration with @jumeirahcapripalace and @comunedianacapri, Poltronova brings two projects that continue to shape the language of contemporary Italian design inside the historic spaces of @villarosa_anacapri.

Designed by Gianni Pettena in 1967, Rumble originated from the experience of living in a vast nineteenth-century artist’s atelier, where furniture had to respond to the scale of the place rather than that of the human body. More than a sofa, it becomes a playful architectural landscape: a simple form that invites endless possibilities of inhabiting, gathering and interaction.
Alongside it, Ultrafragola, designed by Ettore Sottsass Jr. for Poltronova in 1970, continues to blur the boundaries between mirror, light and object. Originally conceived as part of the Mobili Grigi collection, it has become one of the most recognisable and enduring designs ever produced by Poltronova.

Together, these works naturally engage with the exhibition’s central reflection: that design can simultaneously preserve its uniqueness while remaining open to new interpretations, new contexts and new ways of being experienced.

POV: your “small” design obsession is getting out of hand. 🤏❤️

Some people collect stamps. Others collect icons.

Originally designed by Archizoom Associati for Poltronova in 1967, Superonda completely redefined what a sofa could be. Not by adding functions, but by removing rules. Made from just two wave-shaped polyurethane blocks, it can become a sofa, a chaise longue, a bed, two separate seats, or simply an invitation to play with space. More than a piece of furniture, Superonda became one of the founding symbols of Italian Radical Design, proving that design could be ironic, provocative and constantly changing.
Now imagine all of that... fitting in the palm of your hand.

Our 1:8 Superonda Miniature faithfully reproduces the original proportions, colour and details, transforming one of Radical Design’s greatest icons into a collectible object. Small enough for a desk. Significant enough to start conversations.
Created for collectors, architects, interior designers, universities, design schools, museums, galleries and showrooms, Poltronova Miniatures are also educational tools: they make it possible to study modularity, composition and the history of Italian design through physical interaction. They are just as at home in a private collection as they are in a design library, a creative studio or an exhibition display.

Because sometimes understanding an icon begins by holding it in your hands.
Faithful in every detail, Rumble, Safari, Sofo and Superonda condense the same radical attitude into a new scale, proving that reducing dimensions doesn’t reduce ideas—it often amplifies them.

SOME PROJECTS LIVE BEYOND THE OBJECT. 🍅

During Milan Design Week 2026, Tomato brought together many of the things we care about most: design history, contemporary culture, craftsmanship, conversation and people.

Originally designed in 1970 by French designer Christian Adam, the Tomato Armchair returned through an exclusive collaboration between @chloe and Poltronova. Developed and produced by Poltronova in collaboration with the designer’s heirs, the project carefully translates Adam’s original vision into contemporary production while preserving its distinctive sculptural identity.
Crafted in naturally tanned leather and available in cream, cognac, sand and black, Tomato transforms a familiar organic form into a soft, oversized seating object that sits somewhere between furniture, sculpture and design statement.
Presented inside Chloé’s boutique on Via della Spiga during Milan Design Week, the project became the setting for an evening of encounters, conversations and shared enthusiasm for design.
Moments like these remind us that design is never only about objects. It is also about the communities that gather around them, the dialogues they generate and the new connections they make possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this remarkable project part of the present once again.

WE’RE STILL THINKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT. 🍅

Some collaborations deserve more than a week of attention.

Originally designed in 1970 by French designer Christian Adam, the Tomato Armchair returns today through an exclusive collaboration between @chloe and Poltronova.

Developed and produced by Poltronova in collaboration with the designer’s heirs, Tomato is far more than a re-edition. It belongs to a design language where seating has never been just seating.

Think of Joe.
Superonda.
Safari.

Objects that challenged the conventional idea of furniture through form, scale and behaviour.

Tomato follows the same path. Its soft, sculptural silhouette transforms comfort into something expressive, symbolic and unexpectedly contemporary.

Redeveloping Tomato for contemporary production meant translating a remarkable design from 1970 into today’s manufacturing standards while preserving the integrity of Christian Adam’s original vision. It is this dialogue between archive, research and industrial expertise that allows important projects to return without losing what made them extraordinary in the first place.

Some objects belong to history.

Others keep making history.

⬜️ Light that thinks. A table that moves.

Gherpe doesn’t illuminate a room — it occupies it.
Superstudio’s 1968 lamp reads as pure sculpture until it wakes up.
Crazy Horse does the same from below: Sottsass gave four legs a posture, not just a function.

Both pieces were made the same year. Both refuse to stand still.

At UN—, Poltronova’s installation at @isaloniofficial 2026, nothing was placed to be admired.
Everything was placed to be questioned.

◻️ Gherpe by Superstudio 1968
◻️ Crazy Horse by Ettore Sottsass jr. 1968

🎨 Exhibition Creative Direction: @_d_apostrophe_ @donutsinho

⬜️ The Crazy Horse table, designed in 1968 by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova, returns to production in 2025. Its slender laminated top is supported by four bold, painted metal legs. The geometric essentiality of the form plays against the dynamic tilt of the legs—true protagonists of this project named after the iconic Parisian cabaret founded in 1951. This piece feels strikingly contemporary and proves that great design continues to tell stories—beyond trends and passing fads.

⬜️ 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.

⬜️ Domestic space is no longer defined.

Poltronova returns to Salone del Mobile with UN—, an installation that takes shape from a condition that is unstable, open, and in constant transformation.

Following XS from the previous edition, where surface generated space, UN— operates through subtraction: not what is shown, but what remains incomplete, suspended, in progress.

Space no longer presents itself as a finished form, but as a process.

It is constructed as it unfolds.

IT’S GIVING PLAY + PLEASURE. (ON A DESIGN ICON) 🖤

Not every design object asks you to sit properly. Some invite you to climb, play, disappear into them for a while.
Joe — originally designed in 1970 by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi for Poltronova — transforms a baseball glove into an oversized domestic landscape: somewhere between soft sculpture, pop imagery and anti-bourgeois provocation.
Shown here in vintage leather upholstery.

Half furniture, half visual statement. 100% comfort. 0% possible to ignore.

📸 Cover shot by Serena Eller Vainicher @serenaeller : Eller Studio @ellerstudio

Joe is a big comfortable chair in the form of a giant baseball glove, mounted on invisible wheels. Inspired by the poetics of Pop Art, the designers gave material form to their admiration for the legendary American baseball player Joe DiMaggio. Through a radical shift in scale, the glove becomes an inhabitable object, bringing a hyperreal image from the world of art into the domestic landscape.
For the fiftieth anniversary of Joe, Poltronova introduced Joe Ball: a leather pouf and footrest shaped like a baseball, designed by D’Urbino and Lomazzi in 2020. Conceived as the natural completion of the armchair, Joe Ball combines comfort, irony and sculptural presence.

GRAPHIC. GEOMETRIC. GESTURE.

Canton: wooden bench by Franco Raggi, 1988

@kinraggi

Originally designed by Franco Raggi in 1988, Canton emerges from a graphic gesture transformed into space. A continuous black line draws two squares connected by a horizontal segment; pulled into three dimensions, that abstract sign becomes a bench.

Conceived for temporary use rather than comfort, Canton sacrifices ergonomics in favour of a rigorous, almost neoplastic presence. The structure functions simultaneously as seat and container: the lateral squares open into compartments designed to host books, magazines, objects, and traces of everyday life.

More than furniture, Canton behaves as a spatial drawing. The object retains the immediacy of a sketch while becoming architecture, structure, and image at once.

Canton transforms a simple line into an inhabitable structure: graphic, architectural, and deliberately uncompromising.

SIT ON THE LANDSCAPE.

Terrazzo Quarry: seating system by Bethan Laura Wood, 2025

@bethanlaurawood

Terrazzo Quarry transforms terrazzo from surface into inhabitable landscape. Conceived as a soft yet monumental seating system, the project unfolds as a cluster of upholstered volumes that can exist as a composed environment or disperse freely throughout space, like fragments of an imaginary quarry.

Developed by Bethan Laura Wood following her residency in a Venetian palazzo, the exclusive upholstery originates from an obsession with the endless variations of traditional terrazzo floors. Here, gemstone-like fragments appear to detach themselves from the aggregate, surfacing as chromatic eruptions across the fabric.

The project blurs the boundary between pattern and architecture, between two-dimensional illusion and physical volume. The elements resemble artificial rocks emerging from a psychedelic terrain, inviting interaction, climbing, gathering, and rest.

Described by the designer as a “super fake” terrazzo, Terrazzo Quarry embraces artifice as language. Material becomes narrative, decoration becomes topography, and the domestic landscape turns into an immersive, playful environment that echoes the radical visions embedded within the Poltronova archive.

A glow too perfect to belong to reality. Ultrafragola by Ettore Sottsass jr. reflects itself endlessly beside Regolo by Gianfranco Fini and the translucent rhythm of Andrea Mancuso’s Pluriball table.

Part 1 — How did it come to life?

Terrazzo Quarry didn’t start as an object.
It started as a memory.

During a residency in a Venetian palazzo, @bethanlaurawood became obsessed with terrazzo floors — endless variations, fragments, surfaces that never repeat.

From that obsession, a fabric.
From that fabric, a landscape.

Not designed as furniture, but as something that could emerge.

What is Rumble by Gianni Pettena? 💭
A sofa or a space to experience?

Rumble isn’t just design. It’s architecture you can live in.
Born from a 19th-century artist studio, this iconic sofa breaks scale, rules, and expectations.

It doesn’t follow function. It questions it.
A primal form. A womb. A place where gestures, ideas, and possibilities take shape.

Rumble becomes what you make of it.
That’s the point.

Designed by Gianni Pettena for Poltronova
Casentino fabric. Timeless colors. Endless interpretations.

Would you sit… or experience it?

Rumble playful sofa by Gianni Pettena ✧

Casa Italia returned to the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026.

IO SONO UN ARCHITETTO. ETTORE SOTTSASS

From 7 March to 26 July 2026, Palazzo Buontalenti in Pistoia presents a major exhibition dedicated to Ettore Sottsass, one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century architecture and design.
Painter, graphic designer, photographer and visionary designer, Sottsass (1917–2007) moved through the entire twentieth century with a perspective that was critical, observant and deeply sensitive to the cultural and social changes of his time.

Curated by Enrico Morteo and organised by @pistoiamusei, @fondazionecaript with @electaeditore, the exhibition explores three decades of Sottsass’s work. From the immediate post-war years to the early 1970s. Drawings, photographs, ceramics, objects and archival materials reveal the development of his ideas, many of them presented to the public for the first time.
Special attention is given to Sottsass’s relationship with Tuscany and with the artisans and companies that helped shape his vision.  Projects developed with Poltronova — including Ultrafragola, Crazy Horse, Califfo and Superbox — stand as iconic examples of a design language grounded in experimentation, colour and symbolic form.
The exhibition presents both original pieces and archival materials preserved at @csac_parma and within the Centro Studi Poltronova Archive.

📍 Palazzo Buontalenti, Pistoia  📅 7 March – 26 July 2026

Too much? Exactly.
Not furniture. A manifesto.

An imperial presence in the dream of domestic walls.
Safari is not discreet. Leopard skin. Modular excess. A composition that occupies space with intention.

Sanremo stands beside it. Vertical. Luminous. A palm transformed into a symbol.
Designed to disturb complacency. Designed to endure.

Clear your sitting room.
Would you make space for these two?

Radical Italian design by Archizoom Associati for Poltronova. The Safari imperial sofa and Sanremo floor lamp embody 1960s Italian Radical Design, Pop Art influence, and collectible furniture. Originally conceived as a critique of bourgeois interiors, these iconic pieces remain central to Milan Design Week conversations and contemporary design collecting.

Why is it called the Sanremo floor lamp?

Because Sanremo is more than a place. It’s a symbol. 🌴✨

Inspired by Sanremo in Liguria, host of the legendary Italian music festival, this Poltronova piece turns the palm tree into a glowing manifesto of Radical Design.
A minimal metal trunk. Fluorescent green or transparent methacrylate leaves.
 A theatrical presence that feels ironic, bold, and unforgettable.
Sanremo embodies Italian pop culture reinterpreted for the home.
A palm tree that radiates light and attitude.
 Follow for iconic Italian design pieces.

& you just can’t live without it 😮‍💨

— Superonda dynamic sofa by Archizoom Associati ❣️

Would you bring your Superonda everywhere with you?

… did you know that:
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.
