Elle Decor: Alchemica

Poltronova was present at Palazzo Bovara for the exhibition ALCHEMICA, curated by Patricia Urquiola. The installation featured a composition of two complete SAFARI sofas (Archizoom Associati), specially upholstered in custom violet eco-fur for the occasion, and the PASSIFLORA table lamps (Superstudio).
For the 2025 Milano Design Week, Elle Decor intertwined its vision with the metaphor of alchemy—an ancient practice exploring the transformation of matter as both a physical process and a symbol of growth and change. The exhibition was structured around the three fundamental stages of the alchemical process—Nigredo, Albedo, and Rubedo—each represented through spaces evoking the most symbolic rooms of the home.

For those who didn’t have the chance to visit Salone del Mobile 2025 — or just want to relive the dream — here’s your personal tour.  Poltronova’s XS – ExtraSurface wasn’t just an exhibition. It was a dissolution of the domestic, a shimmering space of drapes, mirrors, and radical memories.
From Superstudio to Sottsass, from Pettena to Hollein — a landscape of icons in constant flux. No longer a home. Not quite a museum. But a tactile fiction that still lingers, long after the fair is wrapped up.

XS is over. But it keeps resonating.

— Poltronova embraces the world of collectibles with its first series of realistic miniatures. Rumble, Safari, Sofo, and Superonda become (almost) pocket-sized in faithful 1:8 scale reproductions.  — Great design, scaled down.
The iconic modular designs you love are now available as miniatures: small in size, big in detail.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted to precisely reflect the original colors, materials, and proportions. Not just collectible items, but an invitation to explore new combinations and configurations, right in the palm of your hand.

SALONE DEL MOBILE 2025:
ＸＳ＝ＥＸＴＲＡＳＵＲＦＡＣＥ

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.

More than fifty years later, two icons by Ettore Sottsass return to the Poltronova catalog: “After seventeen years, Ettore is still missed… so we thought, together with Studio Sottsass, of bringing back these two pieces: the Califfo sofa from 1964 and the Crazy Horse table from 1968. They’re simple and strong, as if they were designed yesterday.”

ＸＳ stands for ＥＸＴＲＡＳＯＦＴ

XS is an exhibition presenting a selection of Poltronova’s iconic designs — like Rumble by Gianni Pettena, 1967 — alongside something unexpected.

☁️ Gianni Pettena’s Rumble sofa gets a new soul: its modular structure is dressed in white panno casentino fabric, enhancing the play of deconstructed volumes in a dialogue between softness and architecture.

Salone Internazionale del Mobile Rho Fiera, Milan Hall 24, Booth D33 April 8–13
9.30 am – 6.30 pm 
🤍 Rumble is a playful sofa. It 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.

XS is an exhibition presenting a selection of Poltronova’s iconic designs — like Mitzi sofa by Hans Hollein, 1981 — alongside something unexpected.

⭕️ The Mitzi sofa, designed by Hans Hollein, makes its debut to the general public with its distinctive érable burlwood finish. An object that challenges the dichotomy between function and symbol.

Salone Internazionale del Mobile 
Rho Fiera, Milan 
Hall 24, Booth D33   April 8–13
9.30 am – 6.30 pm 

🔻 The Mitzi sofa, part of the rich production of the Austrian master Hans Hollein, highlights a rigorous design while staging of a dialectic between different connotations and symbolisms. Soft and rigid elements are present together in the materials and forms. Upholstered cushions and soft wool cloth come alongside the walnut, both solid and in sheets, of the structure, and the curved line of the backrest coexists with the straight line at the base, masculine and feminine together: a sofa with a woman’s name.

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 Mies by Archizoom Associati, 1969 — alongside something unexpected.

📐 The Mies armchair was born in 1969 from the idea of using a strip of para rubber or India rubber –strong, elastic materials– as a seat. The structure, a triangle in chrome–plated metal, brings out the purity of the silhouette. The headrest and footrest–lamp cushions are in ponyskin. The name emphasizes the similarity of the structure to the projects of Mies van der Rohe, as a tribute to the great master who died that same year.

🔗 The prototype, which is the gift made by Paolo Deganello to Dario Bartolini and Lucia Morozzi for their wedding, was born from the idea of using the typical element of industrial conveyor belts as a seat. It is a strip of natural rubber that is grafted onto the trapezoidal steel frame, fixing itself to two cylindrical sticks. In contrast with the seat, the headrest is in pony leather. The armchair is listed in the catalog by the company along with a luminous footrest with the same steel and pony finishes.

🌟 Our beloved @bethanlaurawood! 🌟

From the Terrazzo Quarry at the Design Museum to the cover of Door Magazine, Bethan keeps inspiring us with her vibrant, playful vision.

— Designed for the Platform exhibition, Terrazzo Quarry is a interactive soft sculpture that show cases the Terrazzo pattern developed for Poltronova.
Giant rocks extrude out from the ground blurring the line between 2D and 3D pattern and form inviting the public to sit lean and explore their soft forms. Bethan decided to create a super fake terrazzo who’s precious stones could have been mined from the psychedelic landscape that many of the icon designs from Poltronova’s catalogue evoke.

“People are afraid of color. I don’t know why, as this feeling doesn’t belong to me. What I do know is that color is powerful. Most people think they have no opinion about it, but put them in a colorful environment and, even if they don’t know why, they will have an emotional reaction”.

— Terrazzo Printed Fabric by Bethan Laura Wood, 2022
Bethan Laura Wood’s residency in a Venetian palazzo in 2010 inspired a kaleidoscopic terrazzo pattern. The precious stones, freed from the floor and landscape, are reinterpreted in a printed fabric for Poltronova, offering a unique tactile and visual experience.

LINEAPELLE INTERIORS:
Poltronova | Conceria Tris @conceriatris

Covered in pony-like bovine leather with shaved and dyed hair produced by Conceria Tris on the occasion of Lineapelle Interiors 2025, Joe is a large, comfortable armchair shaped like a giant baseball glove mounted on invisible wheels.
With this 1970 project, the designers, inspired by the poetics of Pop Art, materialized their admiration for the legendary American baseball champion Joe DiMaggio, introducing hyper-realistic figurations belonging to the world of art into the domestic environment. Joe is one of the icons of Italian design: exhibited in various museums dedicated to art and design, it is part of the permanent collection of the Triennale Design Museum and the MoMA in New York.

Floor lamp designed by Archizoom Associati

Swipe ➡ to find out more

Sanremo is composed of a slender metal trunk topped by “foliage” like that of a stylized palm tree, formed by lanceolate transparent or fluorescent green methacrylate leaves that radiate light.
The prototype of the Sanremo floor lamp was an engagement present from Dario Bartolini to Lucia Morozzi, given to her in the villa in Roccamare designed by Ernesto Nathan Rogers.
The prototype also called for a sound similar to the song of a cricket, eliminated in the production version.
Floor lamp with indirect light Sanremo is a floor lamp more than two meters high with a phytomorphic shape. A square base supports a long stem made with a lacquered steel tube onto which a luminous crown composed of 12 perspex leaves is grafted in the green or transparent versions.
«Many people couldn’t grasp what we were up to. In reality many of our objects were created for reasons other than that of architecture: an engagement party, a wedding. Any opportunity was good enough to materialise our vision of the world».
[Lucia Bartolini, 2007]

Installation view, Molto Bello: Icons of Modern Italian Design, 2024, Heide Museum of Modern Art, photograph: Christian Capurro

⏳ 26 October 2024 – 23 March 2025

📍 @heidemoma

📸 Christian Capurro

Molto Bello: Icons of Modern Italian Design showcases some of the most significant achievements in the history of twentieth-century Italian design spanning the sixty year period from the first Milan Design Triennale in the 1930s to the Memphis Group of the 1980s. The exhibition tells the remarkable story of how, through the marriage of Italy’s rich craft tradition, technological and industrial advances and a capacity for creativity, experimentation and invention, Italian design became admired throughout the world. Drawn from public and private collections across Australia, the objects in the exhibition include classic chairs, lamps, homeware, etc.

Molto Bello celebrates key proponents in the industry and their enduring contribution to global culture; from the elegant and dynamic early work of architect–designers such as Gio Ponti and Carlo Mollino, through the ingenious and stylish creations of Gae Aulenti, Joe Colombo, and the Castiglioni brothers, to the quirky and provocative Radical Design movement, Memphis Milano, prominent design figures Ettore Sottsass, Nanda Vigo, Gaetano Pesce, and more.

💭 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 🧏

🧡 Superonda by Archizoom Associati - Special Edition
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Superonda, Roberta Meloni, CEO of Poltronova, collaborated with Archizoom Associati to create new celebrative outfits for this iconic product. Six special versions were designed, each reinterpreting the past of the Archizoom members, in this case, Paolo Deganello.
•
5️⃣0️⃣ Since 1967 - 2017 Edition
In 2017, Poltronova launched six limited editions of Superonda, honoring its playful, anti-design nature. These editions were unveiled at the 2018 Milan Triennale during Design Week.
•
🌊* 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”!

‼️ This is how we do it—crafted with love and our own hands. Bold, red* and unique.
🐚 The Gherpe table lamp stands out for its shell-like shape and the use of methacrylate. It is one of the first examples of an interactive luminous object.

🌟 DESIGN REVOLUTION 🌟

Take a good look at this image: what do you see? It’s not just a chair, it’s not just a footrest. It’s a piece of history, a statement of style, and a provocative homage. Donatello D’Angelo, our art director, relaxes on the Mies chair, merging audacity and modernity with effortless flair.

The Mies chair, designed in 1969 by the revolutionary Archizoom Associati, is an irreverent tribute to Mies van der Rohe, one of the pillars of modernism. The chromed steel footrest with a pony skin cushion isn’t just a furniture accessory, it’s a challenge to conventions, an invitation to think beyond limits.

🚀 Do you want to be part of this revolution? 🚀

Share your vision with us. How would you transform your space with a touch of boldness and provocation? Tag us in your photos and use the hashtag #PoltronovaRevolution to be featured on our pages.

Don’t stay in the past. Sit on the Mies chair and look into the future. With style. With provocation. With Poltronova. 💥

🍬 Plasma
Armchair and footrest by Nigel Coates
.
In the context of Nigel Coates’ growing interest in furniture, the Plasma armchair reflects the English designer’s taste for designing essential forms by digital means. Composed of a set of cushions in different tones placed on a slender metal structure with harmonious curves, Plasma combines the simplicity of a continuous graphic sign with the complex technology of the structure, made with computerized methods of bending and welding. With a footrest, it is also available for outdoor use.

⭐️ Tappeto Cielo
Rug design by Archizoom Associati
Made by @poltronova with @cc_tapis
.
Cielo is one of the three hand-tafted wool rugs inspired by the Farfalla pattern designed by the Archizoom group in 1967 in their quest for an acid contrast between the floral, art nouveau decor and the experimentation that was taking place in Pop Art in those years. Three reinterpretations, in three different forms, of the main parts that made up the original pattern. Cielo is characterized by an explosion of primary colours and simple, geometric shapes spanned by decorative motifs-typical of the productions of artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol-such as polka dots and oblique stripes.

📐Mies
Armchair and footrest designed by Archizoom Associati
.
The Mies armchair was born in 1969 from the idea of using a strip of para rubber or India rubber —strong, elastic materials— as a seat. The structure, a triangle in chrome—plated metal, brings out the purity of the silhouette. The headrest and footrest cushions are in ponyskin. The name emphasizes the similarity of the structure to the projects of Mies van der Rohe, as a tribute to the great master who died that same year. With its rigorous geometric design, the Mies armchair sums up the philosophy of Archizoom Associati, leading figures of the Italian Radical movement starting in the second half of the 1960s.

2024 marks sixty years since Italian-born husband and wife team, Lella and Massimo Vignelli, designed the Saratoga sofa for their New York home. In its geometric simplicity it remains a masterpiece of mid-century minimalism. To celebrate this anniversary, @poltronova and Capsule invite artist and designer @harrynuriev to reimagine the Saratoga, using what he calls “transformism” to imbue this timeless design with novel aesthetic and material qualities. The resulting installation, taking inspiration from the mundane and unpoetic, will host Capsule Plaza’s daily program of talks, tapping into a wide range of creators to question the notion of radical design for today.

REFLECTIONS
A gallery of light and glass narrates the reflections and illusions of material. Light itself, an intangible material, gives three-dimensionality to surfaces and follows the sinuous line of the Superonda sofa, which invades the gallery’s path with multiple units, creating a “wave effect.”
