The iconic Ultrafragola mirror by Ettore Sottsass jr. inside Ca’ Nichetto, the Venetian home of @lucanichetto

A sculptural presence where light becomes atmosphere, and design becomes part of daily life.
Because great design doesn’t decorate a space.
It defines it.

Designed in the early 1970s by Ettore Sottsass jr., Ultrafragola is one of the most recognizable mirrors in Italian design history. Known for its sculptural silhouette and integrated lighting, it blurs the line between mirror and lamp, object and atmosphere. More than a functional piece, Ultrafragola explores how light interacts with space, creating mood, rhythm, and presence. Today, it remains a reference point for collectors, designers, and interior architects seeking iconic lighting design that feels both expressive and timeless.

✋🛑 Superonda by Archizoom Associati

Would you bring your Superonda anywhere with you?

... did you know that:
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.

It’s always a ‘perfect day’ with Superonda 🥐

The Superonda doesn’t ask you to sit properly. It asks you to rethink sitting altogether.
A sofa that behaves more like a thought than a piece of furniture.

Designed in 1967 by Archizoom Associati, this Radical Italian icon folds, flips, and flows. No front. No back. No instructions. Just a soft rebellion in red.

Public space becomes a living room.
Design becomes a question, do you answer?

📍 Piazza del Carmine, Florence

🎨 How would you use it. Lounge, climb, or completely ignore the idea of a sofa?

Florence 🤝 Radical Design.

Right in front of Santa Maria del Carmine, the Superonda by Archizoom Associati takes over the piazza – where pop meets poetry, and design breaks all rules.

Created in 1967, this anti-design icon from the Florentine Radical group Archizoom Associati still dares to be playful, modular, and free. No frame, no limits. Just imagination in motion.

📍 Piazza del Carmine, Florence

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.

Poltronova is… An Italian design company born in Tuscany in 1957 — where bold ideas met radical imagination.

Directed by Ettore Sottsass for twenty years, Poltronova became a laboratory of radical experimentation — collaborating with visionary artists and designers such as Archizoom, Superstudio, The Vignellis and Ron Arad.
Emerging as an outsider from Tuscany — far from the industrial hubs of mass production — Poltronova redefined the aesthetics of modern living, pioneering a new language of freedom, irony, and playfulness that shaped postmodern design.

Every piece is made to order in Tuscany, combining artisanal expertise with modern manufacturing technologies — ensuring lasting quality and total control over every detail.

From Ultrafragola to Superonda, from Joe to Mies — Poltronova icons continue to live in homes, galleries, and museums worldwide. Always bold. Always original.

Poltronova. The Dream Factory.

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”!

🎨 A “super fake” terrazzo, quarried from a psychedelic landscape.

With Terrazzo Quarry, Bethan Laura Wood echoes the radical visions of the Poltronova archive.
A cluster of sculptural seats — soft yet monumental — where surface becomes volume, and materiality becomes experience, play, and narrative.

An invitation to inhabit an imaginary landscape that celebrates both illusion and structure.

Available soon as part of the Poltronova collection.

At EDIT Napoli 2025, Poltronova unveils Terrazzo Quarry — a new project by Bethan Laura Wood, presented within EDIT CULT at the Loggia del Priore of the Certosa di San Martino.

Conceived by creative director Donatello D’Angelo @_d_apostrophe_ , the installation marks a turning point in the company’s history: for the first time since the foundation of the Poltronova Study Centre under the direction of Roberta Meloni, an entirely original design — not drawn from the historical archive — becomes part of the collection.

A world premiere that bridges past and present, reaffirming Poltronova’s role as a living laboratory of radical imagination.

✨ Introducing Terrazzo Quarry by Bethan Laura Wood for Poltronova.

A monumental yet soft seating system that transforms surface into volume and pattern into landscape.

Conceived as an inhabitable artificial terrain, these upholstered elements can be clustered or scattered like rocks emerging from an imaginary ground — where decoration and material merge into one expressive form.

From Venetian terrazzo floors to a psychedelic topography, Bethan’s exclusive fabric reinterprets fragments of gems breaking free from their aggregate, turning illusion into structure, and inviting new ways of interaction, climbing, and rest.

📍 World premiere soon at EDIT Napoli 2025.

📐 Regolo today.

Not just a seat, but a living system: compact volumes, integrated bookcases, and cushions upholstered in glossy leather, linen or recycled wool.

Halfway between design and architecture, Regolo embodies Gianfranco Fini’s vision — a furniture piece that is also sculpture, a domestic landscape, a cultural statement.

From 1975 to 2025: a re-edition that looks back to radical design while speaking directly to today.

✨ Again, Regolo.

Designed in 1975 by Gianfranco Fini, Regolo re-enters the Poltronova collection as a modular seating system where geometric rigor meets versatile comfort.

Available as one-, two- or three-seater, its solid ash structure integrates bookcases on the sides and back, making it a micro-architecture to live in — functional from every angle, timeless in its proportions.

Reissued today with updated materials, Regolo celebrates Poltronova’s unconventional vision: radical, sculptural, and unapologetically modern.

🖤 Cessato Allarme by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi

The Cessato Allarme clothes stand, created in 1986 by the De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi studio and produced by Poltronova since 1991, takes its inspiration directly from its name [“All Clear!”]: the alarm trumpets mounted on light poles during the last war.

Now also available in black, this iconic piece preserves its playful pop spirit—far from anything warlike. As Paolo Lomazzi suggested in 2020, it is a metaphorical invitation to «go and blow the trumpets again.»

🟩🟪 Sofo 🟪🟧
armchair and sofa by Superstudio, 1968

«Sofo is a seat that you can put in a row like a train, or use to build mountains and thrones, mountains and pyramids firmly planed in the ground.
But at the end it is only a polyurethane block, a cube split in two parts by an “s” and then covered by material with two big stripes.
It is the result of a very simple operation, without any material or intellectual waste.
It appears like a big colored object, a little abstract maybe, like all the things with a bit of joy that look like things from another world».

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.  📸 Photo credits:  From the archive: © Dario Bartolini Ph.

～ design that moves with you ～

More than a sofa — a radical landscape to explore. Superonda adapts to your energy, defying stillness with every curve.  Born in 1967 to question the ordinary, it still refuses to play by the rules.

Own a piece of revolution.

Ettore Sottsass
June 27 – July 26, 2025
📍 Studio Casoli, Via Pecorini a Mare, Filicudi (ME), Italy

Studio Casoli dedicates a special exhibition to Ettore Sottsass — architect, artist, and visionary able to transform everyday objects into powerful narratives of memory and meaning.

In the 1980s, Sottsass found a refuge on Filicudi, among volcanic stones, whitewashed walls, and a Mediterranean light that shaped his creative language.

Here, place, ritual, and memory come together — and so do his most iconic works.

On display:
▫️ Torno Subito (Superbox), the 1966 tower cabinet clad in plastic laminate for Poltronova
▫️ Crazy Horse table, designed in 1968 by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova, which returned to production in 2025

As a historic partner of Sottsass and a pioneer of Italian design experimentation since 1957, Poltronova continues to champion a vision where furniture becomes a poetic architecture of living.

✨ Margherissima is open at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025!

We’re thrilled to share our collaboration with @nigelcoates_projects and the Architectural Association @aaschool for this visionary exhibition, curated by Carlo Ratti @crassociati and focused on the urban revitalization of Marghera.

Poltronova contributed to the large-scale model on display at the Polveriera Austriaca, Forte Marghera, crafting a miniature park designed by Coates—leather-covered foam hills shaped with artisanal care and precision.

This marks a new chapter in our long-standing creative dialogue with Nigel Coates, whose iconic works for Poltronova include the Gallo series and the Plasma armchair, which remains a celebrated part of our catalog.

📍Margherissima runs until November 23, 2025 – Venice Architecture Biennale, Forte Marghera open daily (except Mondays)
⏰ 10.00 until 19.00, easily reached on tram T1 from Piazzale Roma   @labiennale @grymsdykefarm
