Farfalla
by Archizoom Associati
Ā«I have no idea how come, but I remember very well the reason why Massimo and I designed the fabric Le farfalle, āThe Butterfliesā, by Poltronovaā¦ The idea was to make decorations with flowers, but crossed with pop decorations, like Liechtensteinās, that imitated printersā designs, creating (in our intent) a contrast between the floral theme and the āpopā themeā¦ In reality, the result was a lively fabric but not as acid as we expected; the āOverātheāTop Generationā of Archizoom was not yet matureā¦Ā»
[Andrea Branzi]
A beat of the wings is enough to make the umpteenth version of the chair designed in 1966 to challenge conventions take off. In the butterfly and in the world of shiny sky, polka dots, chequered, flowers and stars, the antiāsystem art of American artists such as Liechtenstein and, more generally, of Pop Art continues to develop. The butterfly pattern, designed by Archizoom in 1968, was a reinterpretation in an acid, pop key of the floral theme that came from a much more composed tradition, and is now part of Poltronovaās nascent fabric catalogue.

š 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 Sāshaped 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.

Superonda + Farfalla, dynamic sofa + fabric by Archizoom, 5vie, Correnti 14, Milan Design Week 2022.
.
Centro Studi Poltronova presented a reading corner at 5vie Head Quarter, where it was possible to check out two volumes of the seriesĀ The Monographs of Poltronova,Ā Superonda: Archizoom AssociatiĀ and the latest releaseĀ Mies + Sanremo: Archizoom Associati. Everyone was able to relax browsing books on the iconic Superonda by Archizoom in the Farfalla indoor/outdoor version. A beat of the wings is enough to make the umpteenth version of the chair designed in 1966 to challenge conventions take off. In the butterfly and in the world of shiny sky, polka dots, chequered, flowers and stars, the anti-system art of American artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and, more generally, of Pop Art continues to develop. The Farfalla pattern, designed by Archizoom in 1968, was a reinterpretation in an acid, pop key of the floral theme that came from a much more composed tradition, and is now part of Poltronova`s nascent fabric catalog.
