UN—Poltronova at Salone del Mobile 2026
Milano Design Week installation at Rho Fiera Milano.
Domestic space is no longer defined.
At Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2026, Poltronova presents UN—, an installation shaped by an unstable, open, constantly transforming condition.
✳︎ UN—
📍 Rho Fiera Milano, Hall 24 | Booth D33
⏳ April 21st–26th
Featuring Archizoom Associati, Nigel Coates, De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi, Gianfranco Fini, Andrea Mancuso, Franco Raggi, Ettore Sottsass jr., Superstudio, Bethan Laura Wood.
Following XS, where surface generated space, UN— operates through subtraction, not what is shown, but what remains incomplete, suspended, in progress.
Space no longer presents itself as a finished form, but as a process built as it unfolds.
UN— marks a new phase for Poltronova. Alongside historical icons, a new generation of projects interprets the present through experimental, ironic, and radical languages. New productions by Bethan Laura Wood and Andrea Mancuso open a path beyond re-edition.
Under the creative direction of Donatello D’Angelo, the installation becomes an UN—finished environment in constant mutation. There is no definitive form. Only temporary states.
On display includes Ultrafragola, Superonda, Gherpe, Joe, Canton and more alongside new productions Terrazzo Quarry, Pluriball, Regolo, Plasma and Safari in new upholsteries.
A renewed focus on customisation introduces variable configurations and a more direct relationship between object and user. Miniatures and objects expand the reflection on scale, perception, and reality.

Inside De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi: Fantasticamente effervescenti at @casvamilano – Centro di Alti Studi sulle Arti Visive, the work of one of the most significant Italian design groups is traced through a trajectory that moves beyond the object and redefines the experience of domestic space.

Fantasticamente effervescenti, curated by Maria Teresa Feraboli with exhibition design by Andrea Gianni, takes the public beyond the object, tracing a creative trajectory that has redefined spatial possibilities and transformed the way domestic environments are experienced.
Before forming as a group in 1966, the three designers initiated a sharp critique of traditional housing typologies, with a clear aim: to free the home from the rigidity of rooms and restore flexibility and freedom to interior spaces. From holiday houses such as Villa Panceri on the island of Elba, to the retirement home on Via Leone XIII in Milan, and on to pneumatic structures and the project of a residential hypercube for 1,500 people, their work moves between pragmatism and vision, in a continuous process of experimentation that also implies an awareness of environmental concerns.
Their informal, affordable, and transformable objects — including the Joe armchair and the Joe Ball footstool — became a manifesto of their commitment to redefining domestic space, allowing inhabitants to shape their environment with freedom, pleasure, and a sense of play.

Inside Metamorphosis, a project by @moscapartners Variations at Palazzo Litta, Centro Studi Poltronova presents an open composition of icons in the Red Room.
Metamorphosis
🪰 A project by @moscapartners Variations
📍 Palazzo Litta, Corso Magenta 24, Milan
⏳ April 21–26, 2026
On view:
★ Canton — Franco Raggi
★ Rumble — Gianni Pettena
★Superonda Spots, special edition — Paolo Deganello, Archizoom Associati
★ Ultrafragola — Ettore Sottsass jr.
More than More. An open composition of Poltronova icons activates the Red Room: Rumble by Gianni Pettena defines its centre, while Ultrafragola mirror/lamp by Ettore Sottsass, Canton bench by Franco Raggi, and a special edition of Superonda sofa by Paolo Deganello are arranged throughout the space.
Not an exhibition, but a condition in which objects construct space.
The theme chosen for 2026 by MoscaPartners, Metamorphosis, is conceived as a transformation driven by experimentation, the development of new materials, and the technologies available to us today. The challenge for the design world is to interpret contemporary scenarios and envision future ones. If, on the one hand, the human being remains the central reference — with their needs and desires — on the other, it is essential to reflect on our relationship with the planet, its resources, and the way we engage with what surrounds us, fostering a virtuous connection between the many dimensions of life.
