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.

— It features a distinctive trumpet-shaped design reminiscent of its historical reference, adding a whimsical yet practical touch to any interior.

— Available in: 🔴🔵⚪️🟢🟡

💭 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 🧏

“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.”

🧡 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.

🌟 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.

Poltronova
feat. Harry Nuriev
photo @serenaeller @ellerstudio
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.”

ORGANIC
A winter garden represents the final stage of material, a return to contact with nature through an installation where cork coverings and hemp brick walls create an intimate space for personal and universal reflection on resource sustainability and the future of construction. At the center, illuminated only by natural light, a white Saratoga armchair with custom butter-colored upholstery.
