Poltronova

Radical Iconic Italian Design

🦄 ULTRAFAVOLA: Poltronova beyond the mirror Mil 🦄 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.

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.

🍓 Ultrafragola Mirror/lamp designed by Ettore S 🍓 Ultrafragola
Mirror/lamp designed by Ettore Sottsass jr.
.
Ultrafragola mirror/lamp, with its sinuous profile that suggests long wavy hair, belongs to the Mobili Grigi series of complete bedroom and living room furnishings designed by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova and presented at the third edition of Eurodomus in 1970. With the exception of Ultrafragola, the models never got beyond the prototype phase.
«As for the lights that are coming out of “The grey furniture”, don’t tombs always have a trembling light to illuminate the blue of the spirits wandering in the valley of dust? Don’t submarines have a trembling green light in their belly? The lights anyway are supposed to come out from the fibreglass bodies, like the ever—glowing of the breast’s white skin, like the ever—glowing of the penis red head in pornographic nights, something of this kind: I mean something like the Japanese lights of the glow worm that are turning the nights into matter.» [Ettore Sottsass jr., 1970]

🖤 Joe Whip Soft leather armchair . To celebrate 🖤 Joe Whip
Soft leather armchair
.
To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the armchair Joe designed by DDL Studio, Centro Studi Poltronova has created four special editions for a must-have item which has never gone out of the catalogue. Made of first-rate black leather, Joe Whip is a precious edition with an elaborate braiding which transforms the thumb into a fringe, and by similitude into a whip, preserving all its Pop provocation.

Luisaviaroma: Home for the Holidays

LuisaViaRoma trasforma lo store di Firenze in una casa per celebrare le festività con un progetto che omaggia le eccellenze italiane del design e dell’abbigliamento.

L’allestimento si ispira ai temi del sogno e del surrealismo e al rinomato architetto, designer e fotografo italiano Carlo Mollino, reinterpretando gli spazi più intimi della casa, in un percorso di stanze tra cui il boudoir, per il quale sono state scelte due lampade Sanremo, la camera da letto e lo studio di un eclettico collezionista. Il risultato è un ambiente dal sapore domestico, ricco di riferimenti simbolici e culturali, dall’atmosfera natalizia.
