Superonda by Archizoom Associati for Poltronova
🌊*Superonda is a dynamic sofa - the two “waves” that compose it, the result of the cutting of a parallelepiped as well as making possible various positions and functions, represent a synthetic gesture in the production logics.
*In Italian “onda” means “wave”!

Superonda, dynamic sofa by Archizoom Associati
· Designed in 1967 by the Florentine Radical group Archizoom, this was the first sofa without a conventional frame.
· It is composed of two waves made from a polyurethane block cut into two parts with an S—shaped incision, which can be interlocked and stacked to produce different configurations.
· The lightness and modular design permit a range of various uses: Superonda can be a sofa, a bed or a chaise longue.
· Like many of the pieces designed by the Archizoom group, it challenges bourgeois conventions, stimulating the creativity and fantasy of the user.
· The shiny leatherette cover in the basic colors of white, black and red accentuates the pop image.

💭 Dreaming of a vibrant 2025 with our Superonda sofa + Farfalla fabric and Tappeto Prato 🦋🌼
— Transform your space, transform your year! 💫
(🐶 Nina approves 🐾)
— 🦋 Superonda sofa + Farfalla fabric by Archizoom Associati
In the butterfly and in the world of shiny sky, polka dots, chequered, flowers and stars, the anti—system art of American artists such as Liechtenstein and, more generally, of Pop Art continues to develop. The butterfly pattern, designed by Archizoom in 1968, was a reinterpretation in an acid, pop key of the floral theme that came from a much more composed tradition, and is now part of Poltronova’s fabric catalogue.
— 🌼 Tappeto Prato
Rug design by Archizoom Associati
Made by @poltronova with @cc_tapis
Prato is a hand-tufted wool rug inspired by the Archizoom group’s 1967 Farfalla pattern, blending Art Nouveau floral motifs with Pop Art experimentation. It features bold primary colors, geometric shapes, and decorative elements like checks and stripes, echoing the styles of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.
— On the plate you can spot a piece of “Cassata Fiorenza”, a classic Florentine dessert: a thin layer of hazelnut fills the wafer, which is then coated in chocolate. One of our favorites! It’s a must at the office 🧏
