Passiflora

by Superstudio

Da un prototipo in cartone dipinto per la mostra “Superarchitettura” [dicembre 1966], manifesto del Radical Design, ha origine l’apparecchio per illuminazione Passiflora. Il cartone è stato sostituito da un materiale trasparente alla luce, trasformando Passiflora in un tronco di colonna luminoso: una colonna la cui sagoma deformata oscilla tra il naturale e l’artificiale, in un gioco di allusioni e ambiguità, corrispondente alla dichiarazione d’intenti del Superstudio, riassunta nel testo “Design d’invenzione e design d’evasione”.

ＸＳ stands for ＥＸＴＲＡＳＵＰＥＲＳＴＵＤＩＯ

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 Passiflora by Superstudio, 1967 — alongside something unexpected.

🌼 The Passiflora lighting fixture comes from a painted cardboard prototype made for the exhibition “Superarchitettura” [December 1966], a manifesto of Radical Design.

🌼 The cardboard was replaced with a light–permeable material, transforming Passiflora into a truncated luminous column: a column whose deformed profile wavers between natural and artificial, in a game of allusions and ambiguities, corresponding to the statement of intent of Superstudio, summed up in the text “Invention Design and Evasion Design”.

🦄 ULTRAFAVOLA: Poltronova beyond the mirror
Milano Design Week 2023
.
On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2023, Centro Studi Poltronova renews its synergy with Mosca Partners for Design Variations, this time crossing the threshold of the Palazzo del Circolo Filologico Milanese in the heart of the Brera Design District. From 17 to 23 April, the Tuscan company will take centre stage. In the large and evocative Liberty Hall, under the luminous eye of a suggestive skylight, in a maze of rooms suspended in space and time, iconic objects and unusual new proposals will be displayed as if they had jumped out of one of the over ten thousand volumes of the library of the city`s oldest cultural association that has its headquarters here. With ULTRAFAVOLA, inspired by its own “best seller”, the Ultrafragola mirror designed by Ettore Sottsass, the Centro Studi Poltronova, just like in Lewis Carroll`s novel Through the Looking Glass and what Alice Found There, invites you to go beyond reflective surfaces to discover the magical dimension of part of its fantastic product catalogue.

🌼 Passiflora
Table lamp designed by Superstudio
.
The Passiflora lighting fixture comes from a painted cardboard prototype made for the exhibition “Superarchitettura” [December 1966], a manifesto of Radical Design. The cardboard was replaced by a material transparent to light, transforming Passiflora into a truncated luminous column: a column whose deformed profile wavers between natural and artificial, in a game of allusions and ambiguities, corresponding to the statement of intent of Superstudio, summed up in the text Invention Design and Evasion Design.
