Joe: an icon that refuses to sit still 🤎
Joe armchair (1970) + Joe Ball pouf/footrest (2020): same irreverent spirit, shared attitude, comfort made in Italy.
What started as a radical gesture becomes a dialogue across time: playful, bodily, unmistakably pop.
After more than 50 years, Joe is still challenging how we inhabit objects and space, with Joe Ball by its side.
Both upholstered in vintage leather.
Other options available.

From ball to icon in one throw ⚾️
Joe Ball pouf/footrest by D’Urbino, Lomazzi
—
Joe Ball by Poltronova is a leather pouf and footrest created for the fiftieth anniversary of Joe.
Its shape and stitching directly recall a classic baseball, conceived as a natural completion to the Joe armchair.
Inside, a concealed weight makes the pouf stable when used as a seat, preventing it from rolling.
Made in Italy, Joe Ball has a simple form that requires exceptional craftsmanship.
Produced using pre-formed expanded polyurethane, it involves highly accurate manual work to faithfully reproduce a leather baseball on a giant scale.
The leather cover is crafted like an haute couture garment, ensuring the highest quality.
Each piece is unique and available in a wide range of colors.
Three branded marks stamped into the leather guarantee authenticity: the name Joe, the Centro Studi Poltronova logo, and the Joe 50th anniversary mark.
In the video, the object shifts from game to furniture, from scale play to physical interaction, turning Joe Ball into an experience where body, movement, and Italian design collide.
