Ultrafragola
by Ettore Sottsass jr.
«As for the lights that are coming out of “The grey furniture”, don’t tombs always have a trembling light to illuminate the blue of the spirits wandering in the valley of dust? Don’t submarines have a trembling green light in their belly? The lights anyway are supposed to come out from the fibreglass bodies, like the ever—glowing of the breast’s white skin, like the ever—glowing of the penis red head in pornographic nights, something of this kind: I mean something like the Japanese lights of the glow worm that are turning the nights into matter. Could anything be more ridiculous?»
[Ettore Sottsass jr., 1970]

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.

XS is an exhibition presenting a selection of Poltronova’s iconic designs — like Ultrafragola by Ettore Sottsass jr., 1970 — alongside something unexpected. Are you ready?
🪞⚡️🍓 Ultrafragola mirror/lamp, with its sinuous profile that suggests long wavy hair, belongs to the “The Grey Furniture” series of complete bedroom and living room furnishings designed by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova and presented at the third edition of Eurodomus in 1970. With the exception of Ultrafragola, the models never got beyond the prototype phase.

“Forme mobili”
📍 @triennalemilano
⏳ Until April 13 2025
“Forme mobili is an invitation to think of movement as a design action. It explores the relationships between body and silhouette, gesture and structure, in a path in which objects from the collections of Triennale are organized in ten sections and in which the chosen themes represent constants in Italian design. Three new areas of research and dissemination enrich the collections: fashion, which in each section is related to the museum’s works by compositional assonances between forms, materials, historical periods and design ideas; boating, with drawings and models of boats, between ingenuity, technology and interior culture; and illustration and drawing for magazines and newspapers. The itinerary culminates in the Design Platform, a dynamic space dedicated to temporary exhibitions of contemporary designers and new forms, where there is an exhibition on fashion designer Monica Bolzoni.”
