Elle Decor: Alchemica
Poltronova was present at Palazzo Bovara for the exhibition ALCHEMICA, curated by Patricia Urquiola. The installation featured a composition of two complete SAFARI sofas (Archizoom Associati), specially upholstered in custom violet eco-fur for the occasion, and the PASSIFLORA table lamps (Superstudio).
For the 2025 Milano Design Week, Elle Decor intertwined its vision with the metaphor of alchemy—an ancient practice exploring the transformation of matter as both a physical process and a symbol of growth and change. The exhibition was structured around the three fundamental stages of the alchemical process—Nigredo, Albedo, and Rubedo—each represented through spaces evoking the most symbolic rooms of the home.

For those who didn’t have the chance to visit Salone del Mobile 2025 — or just want to relive the dream — here’s your personal tour.
Poltronova’s XS – ExtraSurface wasn’t just an exhibition.
It was a dissolution of the domestic, a shimmering space of drapes, mirrors, and radical memories.
From Superstudio to Sottsass, from Pettena to Hollein — a landscape of icons in constant flux.
No longer a home. Not quite a museum.
But a tactile fiction that still lingers, long after the fair is wrapped up.
XS is over. But it keeps resonating.

XS = ᴇxᴛʀᴀꜱᴍᴀʟʟ
— Poltronova embraces the world of collectibles with its first series of realistic miniatures. Rumble, Safari, Sofo, and Superonda become (almost) pocket-sized in faithful 1:8 scale reproductions.
— Great design, scaled down.
The iconic modular designs you love are now available as miniatures: small in size, big in detail.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted to precisely reflect the original colors, materials, and proportions. Not just collectible items, but an invitation to explore new combinations and configurations, right in the palm of your hand.

SALONE DEL MOBILE 2025:
XS = EXTRA SURFACE
Under the creative direction of Donatello D’Angelo, Poltronova continues this exploration,
transforming the exhibition space into an undomestic landscape—an environment that rejects
the functional order of the home to explore new perceptions of dwelling.
The display unfolds through reflective and fragmented planes, embossed panels that break
up the light, curtains and drapes that create unstable depths. A matter in tension, in
constant mutation. In this scenario, Poltronova’s iconic pieces are not mere displayed objects
but sensitive presences, elements that rewrite the concept of domestic space.
