Vanitas

by Superstudio
Vanitas began with the idea of using scraps from the processing of marble. An operation of bricolage, rather than creation, as the Florence–based group stated at the time. Careful milling of the irregular marble pieces makes them become the precious support for a mirror and for two sheets of methacrylate to use as photo frames. Ofelia, Spera and Vanitas, ahead of their time, represent a project of transformation capable of granting a new, refined aesthetic to industrial scrap.

Poltronova renews its synergy with Elle Decor, once again crossing the threshold of Palazzo Bovara for the ‘Material Home’ exhibition curated by Elisa Ossino Studio.
.
During the Milano Design Week 2024, Elle Decor Italia tackles the theme of material in a synthetic and sensory journey that leads the visitor room by room through abstract installations and spatial suggestions. 
.
SOFT
Fabrics and upholstery take shape in surprising sculptural elements. In the bedroom space, the Ultrafragola and Vanitas mirrors, the Mies armchair, and the Canton bench mark the perimeter of the room, where geometries merge seamlessly to create a “smooth” effect.
