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.

When play gets bigger — literally.
⚾️ Joe Ball pouf/footrest by D’Urbino, Lomazzi
—
Joe Ball by Poltronova is a leather pouf and footrest created for the fiftieth anniversary of Joe.
Its shape and stitching directly recall a classic baseball, conceived as a natural completion to the Joe armchair.
Inside, a concealed weight makes the pouf stable when used as a seat, preventing it from rolling.
Made in Italy, Joe Ball has a simple form that requires exceptional craftsmanship.
Produced using pre-formed expanded polyurethane, it involves highly accurate manual work to faithfully reproduce a leather baseball on a giant scale.
The leather cover is crafted like an haute couture garment, ensuring the highest quality.
Each piece is unique and available in a wide range of colors.
Three branded marks stamped into the leather guarantee authenticity: the name Joe, the Centro Studi Poltronova logo, and the Joe 50th anniversary mark.
In the video, the object shifts from game to furniture, from scale play to physical interaction, turning Joe Ball into an experience where body, movement, and Italian design collide.

Joe: an icon that refuses to sit still 🤎
Joe armchair (1970) + Joe Ball pouf/footrest (2020): same irreverent spirit, shared attitude, comfort made in Italy.
What started as a radical gesture becomes a dialogue across time: playful, bodily, unmistakably pop.
After more than 50 years, Joe is still challenging how we inhabit objects and space, with Joe Ball by its side.
Both upholstered in vintage leather.
Other options available.

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.
