Crazy Horse

by Ettore Sottsass jr.
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.

Superonda by Archizoom Associati for Poltronova 

🌊*Superonda is a dynamic sofa - the two “waves” that compose it, the result of the cutting of a parallelepiped as well as making possible various positions and functions, represent a synthetic gesture in the production logics.
*In Italian “onda” means “wave”!

Io mio progetto per internimagazine photo francesca.forquet Il progetto prende forma in quattro location dal sapore popolare e vintage.
Un racconto visivo che intreccia quotidianità e iconografia pop: la Vespa con la sciarpa della Roma, il maritozzo del mattino, le note di Gabriella Ferri, la mitica forchettata di Sordi, una maglietta con scritto ‘daje’
Un’estetica che restituisce l’anima più autentica e ironica di Roma, tra spontaneità, memoria e dettagli.

Highlights from the EDIT Cult “Terrazzo Quarry” by Bethan Laura Wood for Poltronova.

During EDIT Napoli, Poltronova exhibited Terrazzo Quarry, the new piece designed by Bethan Laura Wood, at the Certosa di San Martino. Set within a special installation Terrazzo Quarry reveals itself as an organic and playful seat, evoking a fragment of an upholstered landscape. It is covered with an original fabric created by the designer herself, a fabric that, with irony and tactile sensitivity, captures the radical spirit of the historic brand.
