Rumble
by Gianni Pettena
The design of this sofa derives from the experience of living in a large place, originally a 19th—century atelier for artists, where the furniture had to be conceived on the scale of the place and not on a human scale. It is an object that dialogues with the volume of the overall space and takes into account the fact that that is where it is used. The sofa is a simple, original form, a womb where everything happens or has already happened, but which still suggests possibilities, other things that can happen there. It is an object that breaks up form as it breaks up function; it acquires meaning when the clean geometry of the initial status quo is upset by equally ungrammatical functions.

Rumble playful sofa by Gianni Pettena ✧
Casa Italia returned to the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026.
A project by CONI – the Italian National Olympic Committee that brought together culture, hospitality and Olympic values.
Three venues — Milan, Livigno, Cortina — one shared vision.
The theme MUSA celebrated Italy as a source of inspiration, creativity and beauty.
In this context, Poltronova contributed to Casa Italia with two white Superonda sofas and a green Rumble sofa, shaping informal and dynamic spaces where sport, culture and contemporary design met.
On the occasion of the XXV Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026, Casa Italia stood as the symbolic place of Italian excellence, a space of encounter between culture, vision and Olympic values.
A project by CONI, Casa Italia interpreted and told the story of the country’s identity through hospitality and the values of sport, art, architecture and design.
Present in three key locations — Triennale Milano, the Aquagranda Olympic Preparation Centre in Livigno, and Farsettiarte in Cortina d’Ampezzo — Casa Italia welcomed Italy Team athletes, partners and an international audience, offering an experience that conveyed Italy’s cultural heritage to the world.
The project was developed under the coordination of Lorenzo Pellicelli, within a unified vision that connected the different venues.

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.
