Mies

by Archizoom Associati
La poltrona Mies nasce nel 1969 dall’idea di impiegare una striscia di para o caucciù, materiali resistenti ed elastici, come seduta. La struttura, un triangolo in metallo cromato, evidenzia la purezza della sagoma. Il cuscino del poggiatesta e della lampada-poggiapiedi sono in cavallino. Il nome evidenzia l’analogia della sua struttura con i progetti di Mies van der Rohe e rende omaggio al grande maestro deceduto nel medesimo anno. Nella sua rigorosa geometria la poltrona Mies sintetizza la filosofia degli Archizoom Associati, componenti di punta del Movimento Radicale Italiano, nato attorno alla secondo metà degli anni Sessanta.

◿ MIES BY ARCHIZOOM 

Designed by Archizoom Associati for Poltronova in 1969, the Mies armchair begins with an unexpected idea: turning a material associated with industrial conveyor belts into a place to sit.

A strip of natural para rubber, strong and elastic, is stretched across a geometric chrome-plated steel structure, reducing the conventional armchair to a few essential elements. In deliberate contrast with the industrial character of the seat, the headrest is upholstered in ponyskin.
The name Mies emphasizes the resemblance of its rigorous structure to the architecture of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, conceived as a tribute to the great master who died in the same year, 1969.

Alongside the armchair, Poltronova presented something even more unexpected: a matching luminous footrest, combining the same steel structure and ponyskin upholstery with light. Together, the two pieces blur the boundaries between furniture, industrial materials and the domestic landscape.
Born from the experimental language of Archizoom Associati, Mies transforms an industrial component into a provocative piece of furniture: essential in construction, unconventional in material, and unmistakably Poltronova.

✧ Mies armchair and luminous footrest are produced by Poltronova.
