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.

🦄 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.

Joe is a big comfortable chair in the form of a giant baseball glove, mounted on invisible wheels. With this project the designers, inspired by the poetics of Pop Art, gave material form to their admiration for the legendary American baseball star Joe DiMaggio. With a courageous shift of scale, they transformed the glove into a welcoming place to sit, inserting a hyperrealist figure borrowed from the world of art into the domestic environment.
