Not just a pop object.
Joe Ball completes the iconic armchair: a leather pouf with hidden weight inside, steady as a seat, ironic as a baseball.
Radical Pop meets everyday comfort.

⚾️ Joe Ball by D’Urbino, Lomazzi

From the oversized glove to the baseball itself.
For Joe’s 50th anniversary, Poltronova introduced Joe Ball: a leather pouf and footrest that mirrors the stitches and shape of a real baseball.

A Pop Art irony scaled into design history.

Not fully visible, nor entirely absent. 
These objects aren’t simply on display: they hide, reveal, refract, disappear and reappear among textures and reflections.
Sensitive presences—engaged in a dialogue with surfaces, imagination, and time.

You don’t look at them. They observe you.

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.

⭐️ Tappeto Stella & Stellina
Rug design by D’Urbino Lomazzi
Made by @poltronova with @cc_tapis
.
The star symbol, often used in team sports to indicate victories in particular competitions, has always been a distinguishing feature of the Joe armchair designed by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi. First branded on leather, then embroidered in special editions in denim and faux fur, today it is the generating sign of the rugs dedicated to the iconic armchair. Stella and Stellina, in grey and navy blue hues, are a tribute to the historic uniform of the New York Yankees, just as the armchair for which the star was born is itself a tribute to a myth of American popular culture, the key player of the New York team, Joe DiMaggio.
