🧡 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”!

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.
.
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.”

🌊 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.

🦋 Tappeto Farfalla
Rug design by Archizoom Associati
Made by @poltronova with @cc_tapis
.
Farfalla 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. Farfalla 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.
