🧡 Sink into iconic comfort.
The JOE armchair paired with the JOE pouf / footrest is where sculptural design meets everyday lounging.
Soft curves. Grounded presence. Effortless style.
Designed to anchor a space while inviting you to stay a little longer.
This is modern comfort that looks as good as it feels.
🟠 Would you style this set in a living room or a reading corner?

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.
