Joe

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.

LINEAPELLE INTERIORS:
Poltronova | Conceria Tris @conceriatris

Covered in pony-like bovine leather with shaved and dyed hair produced by Conceria Tris on the occasion of Lineapelle Interiors 2025, Joe is a large, comfortable armchair shaped like a giant baseball glove mounted on invisible wheels.
With this 1970 project, the designers, inspired by the poetics of Pop Art, materialized their admiration for the legendary American baseball champion Joe DiMaggio, introducing hyper-realistic figurations belonging to the world of art into the domestic environment. Joe is one of the icons of Italian design: exhibited in various museums dedicated to art and design, it is part of the permanent collection of the Triennale Design Museum and the MoMA in New York.

Design: De Pas-D’Urbino-Lomazzi
Project: Studio Molini @studio.molini

Molto Bello: Icons of Modern Italian Design showcases some of the most significant achievements in the history of twentieth-century Italian design spanning the sixty year period from the first Milan Design Triennale in the 1930s to the Memphis Group of the 1980s. The exhibition tells the remarkable story of how, through the marriage of Italy’s rich craft tradition, technological and industrial advances and a capacity for creativity, experimentation and invention, Italian design became admired throughout the world. Drawn from public and private collections across Australia, the objects in the exhibition include classic chairs, lamps, homeware, etc.

Molto Bello celebrates key proponents in the industry and their enduring contribution to global culture; from the elegant and dynamic early work of architect–designers such as Gio Ponti and Carlo Mollino, through the ingenious and stylish creations of Gae Aulenti, Joe Colombo, and the Castiglioni brothers, to the quirky and provocative Radical Design movement, Memphis Milano, prominent design figures Ettore Sottsass, Nanda Vigo, Gaetano Pesce, and more.
