Poltronova is… An Italian design company born in Tuscany in 1957 — where bold ideas met radical imagination.

Directed by Ettore Sottsass for twenty years, Poltronova became a laboratory of radical experimentation — collaborating with visionary artists and designers such as Archizoom, Superstudio, The Vignellis and Ron Arad.
Emerging as an outsider from Tuscany — far from the industrial hubs of mass production — Poltronova redefined the aesthetics of modern living, pioneering a new language of freedom, irony, and playfulness that shaped postmodern design.

Every piece is made to order in Tuscany, combining artisanal expertise with modern manufacturing technologies — ensuring lasting quality and total control over every detail.

From Ultrafragola to Superonda, from Joe to Mies — Poltronova icons continue to live in homes, galleries, and museums worldwide. Always bold. Always original.

Poltronova. The Dream Factory.

Superonda by Archizoom Associati for Poltronova

🌊*Superonda is a dynamic sofa - the two “waves” that compose it, the result of the cutting of a parallelepiped as well as making possible various positions and functions, represent a synthetic gesture in the production logics.
*In Italian “onda” means “wave”!

🎨 A “super fake” terrazzo, quarried from a psychedelic landscape.

With Terrazzo Quarry, Bethan Laura Wood echoes the radical visions of the Poltronova archive.
A cluster of sculptural seats — soft yet monumental — where surface becomes volume, and materiality becomes experience, play, and narrative.

An invitation to inhabit an imaginary landscape that celebrates both illusion and structure.

Available soon as part of the Poltronova collection.

⚡️Rockin’ w/ @bethanlaurawood at @edit.napoli 🪨🫟

At EDIT Napoli 2025, Poltronova unveils Terrazzo Quarry — a new project by Bethan Laura Wood, presented within EDIT CULT at the Loggia del Priore of the Certosa di San Martino.

Conceived by creative director Donatello D’Angelo @_d_apostrophe_ , the installation marks a turning point in the company’s history: for the first time since the foundation of the Poltronova Study Centre under the direction of Roberta Meloni, an entirely original design — not drawn from the historical archive — becomes part of the collection.

A world premiere that bridges past and present, reaffirming Poltronova’s role as a living laboratory of radical imagination.

✨ Introducing Terrazzo Quarry by Bethan Laura Wood for Poltronova.

A monumental yet soft seating system that transforms surface into volume and pattern into landscape.

Conceived as an inhabitable artificial terrain, these upholstered elements can be clustered or scattered like rocks emerging from an imaginary ground — where decoration and material merge into one expressive form.

From Venetian terrazzo floors to a psychedelic topography, Bethan’s exclusive fabric reinterprets fragments of gems breaking free from their aggregate, turning illusion into structure, and inviting new ways of interaction, climbing, and rest.

📍 World premiere soon at EDIT Napoli 2025.

📐 Regolo today.

Not just a seat, but a living system: compact volumes, integrated bookcases, and cushions upholstered in glossy leather, linen or recycled wool.

Halfway between design and architecture, Regolo embodies Gianfranco Fini’s vision — a furniture piece that is also sculpture, a domestic landscape, a cultural statement.

From 1975 to 2025: a re-edition that looks back to radical design while speaking directly to today.

✨ Again, Regolo.

Designed in 1975 by Gianfranco Fini, Regolo re-enters the Poltronova collection as a modular seating system where geometric rigor meets versatile comfort.

Available as one-, two- or three-seater, its solid ash structure integrates bookcases on the sides and back, making it a micro-architecture to live in — functional from every angle, timeless in its proportions.

Reissued today with updated materials, Regolo celebrates Poltronova’s unconventional vision: radical, sculptural, and unapologetically modern.

🖤 Cessato Allarme by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi

The Cessato Allarme clothes stand, created in 1986 by the De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi studio and produced by Poltronova since 1991, takes its inspiration directly from its name [“All Clear!”]: the alarm trumpets mounted on light poles during the last war.

Now also available in black, this iconic piece preserves its playful pop spirit—far from anything warlike. As Paolo Lomazzi suggested in 2020, it is a metaphorical invitation to «go and blow the trumpets again.»

🖤🤎 Plasma by Nigel Coates

From digital lines to living matter: Nigel Coates’ Plasma, armchair and footrest, now comes in new leather versions.
Three types of leather – suede/nubuck, vintage, and aniline – woven into two tonal combinations of deep black and warm brown.
A dialogue between graphic lightness and tactile intensity.

📐 Mies by Archizoom Associati for Poltronova

— Designed in 1969: a chrome-plated metal triangle, a rubber strip seat, and ponyskin cushions with essential lines.

— A subtle tribute to Mies van der Rohe, who passed away that same year.

💡 The footrest adds effortless comfort and light.

🟩🟪 Sofo 🟪🟧
armchair and sofa by Superstudio, 1968

«Sofo is a seat that you can put in a row like a train, or use to build mountains and thrones, mountains and pyramids firmly planed in the ground.
But at the end it is only a polyurethane block, a cube split in two parts by an “s” and then covered by material with two big stripes.
It is the result of a very simple operation, without any material or intellectual waste.
It appears like a big colored object, a little abstract maybe, like all the things with a bit of joy that look like things from another world».
 Adolfo Natalini, Superstudio

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 S—shaped 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.  📸 Photo credits:  From the archive: © Dario Bartolini Ph.

Ettore Sottsass
June 27 – July 26, 2025
📍 Studio Casoli, Via Pecorini a Mare, Filicudi (ME), Italy

Studio Casoli dedicates a special exhibition to Ettore Sottsass — architect, artist, and visionary able to transform everyday objects into powerful narratives of memory and meaning.

In the 1980s, Sottsass found a refuge on Filicudi, among volcanic stones, whitewashed walls, and a Mediterranean light that shaped his creative language.

Here, place, ritual, and memory come together — and so do his most iconic works.

On display:
▫️ Torno Subito (Superbox), the 1966 tower cabinet clad in plastic laminate for Poltronova
▫️ Crazy Horse table, designed in 1968 by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova, which returned to production in 2025

As a historic partner of Sottsass and a pioneer of Italian design experimentation since 1957, Poltronova continues to champion a vision where furniture becomes a poetic architecture of living.

We’re thrilled to share our collaboration with @nigelcoates_projects and the Architectural Association @aaschool for this visionary exhibition, curated by Carlo Ratti @crassociati and focused on the urban revitalization of Marghera.

Poltronova contributed to the large-scale model on display at the Polveriera Austriaca, Forte Marghera, crafting a miniature park designed by Coates—leather-covered foam hills shaped with artisanal care and precision.

This marks a new chapter in our long-standing creative dialogue with Nigel Coates, whose iconic works for Poltronova include the Gallo series and the Plasma armchair, which remains a celebrated part of our catalog.

Sensitive presences—engaged in a dialogue with surfaces, imagination, and time. You don’t look at them. They observe you. 1. Ultrafragola mirror/lamp by Ettore Sottsass jr., 1970 2.

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.

Intro: Roberta Meloni, CEO of Poltronova
Voiceover: Donatello D’Angelo, Art Director of Poltronova

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＝ＥＸＴＲＡＳＵＲＦＡＣＥ

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.

More than fifty years later, two icons by Ettore Sottsass return to the Poltronova catalog: “After seventeen years, Ettore is still missed… so we thought, together with Studio Sottsass, of bringing back these two pieces: the Califfo sofa from 1964 and the Crazy Horse table from 1968. They’re simple and strong, as if they were designed yesterday.”

ＸＳ stands for ＥＸＴＲＡＳＯＦＴ

XS is an exhibition presenting a selection of Poltronova’s iconic designs — like Rumble by Gianni Pettena, 1967 — alongside something unexpected.

☁️ Gianni Pettena’s Rumble sofa gets a new soul: its modular structure is dressed in white panno casentino fabric, enhancing the play of deconstructed volumes in a dialogue between softness and architecture.

Salone Internazionale del Mobile Rho Fiera, Milan Hall 24, Booth D33 April 8–13
9.30 am – 6.30 pm 
🤍 Rumble is a playful sofa. It is a simple, original form, a womb where everything happens or has already happened, but which still suggests possibilities, other things that can happen there. It is an object that breaks up form as it breaks up function; it acquires meaning when the clean geometry of the initial status quo is upset by equally ungrammatical functions.

XS is an exhibition presenting a selection of Poltronova’s iconic designs — like Mitzi sofa by Hans Hollein, 1981 — alongside something unexpected.

⭕️ The Mitzi sofa, designed by Hans Hollein, makes its debut to the general public with its distinctive érable burlwood finish. An object that challenges the dichotomy between function and symbol.

Salone Internazionale del Mobile 
Rho Fiera, Milan 
Hall 24, Booth D33   April 8–13
9.30 am – 6.30 pm 

🔻 The Mitzi sofa, part of the rich production of the Austrian master Hans Hollein, highlights a rigorous design while staging of a dialectic between different connotations and symbolisms. Soft and rigid elements are present together in the materials and forms. Upholstered cushions and soft wool cloth come alongside the walnut, both solid and in sheets, of the structure, and the curved line of the backrest coexists with the straight line at the base, masculine and feminine together: a sofa with a woman’s name.

Salone Internazionale del Mobile Rho Fiera, Milan Hall 24, Booth D33   April 8–13 / 9.30 am – 6.30 pm  XS is an exhibition presenting a selection of Poltronova’s iconic designs — like Mies by Archizoom Associati, 1969 — alongside something unexpected.

📐 The Mies armchair was born in 1969 from the idea of using a strip of para rubber or India rubber –strong, elastic materials– as a seat. The structure, a triangle in chrome–plated metal, brings out the purity of the silhouette. The headrest and footrest–lamp cushions are in ponyskin. The name emphasizes the similarity of the structure to the projects of Mies van der Rohe, as a tribute to the great master who died that same year.

🔗 The prototype, which is the gift made by Paolo Deganello to Dario Bartolini and Lucia Morozzi for their wedding, was born from the idea of using the typical element of industrial conveyor belts as a seat. It is a strip of natural rubber that is grafted onto the trapezoidal steel frame, fixing itself to two cylindrical sticks. In contrast with the seat, the headrest is in pony leather. The armchair is listed in the catalog by the company along with a luminous footrest with the same steel and pony finishes.
