Ultrafragola

by Ettore Sottsass jr.
Lo specchio/lampada Ultrafragola con la sua sagoma sinuosa, evocativa di una chioma femminile ondulata, appartiene alla serie dei Mobili Grigi, una camera da letto e un soggiorno per Poltronova e presentati alla terza edizione di Eurodomus nel 1970. Tutti tranne Ultrafragola sono rimasti allo stadio di prototipi.

 

«Quanto poi alle luci che escono fuori dai “Mobili Grigi”, le tombe non hanno sempre delle tremule luci che illuminano la tristezza degli spazi vaganti nella valle polverosa? E i sottomarini non hanno delle luci verdi tremolanti nella loro pancia? Le luci sono pensate venir fuori dal corpo di fiberglass, come il bianco splendente della pelle bianca dei seni, o il rosso splendente della punta del pene nelle notti pornografiche, qualcosa del genere, voglio dire qualcosa come le lucciole giapponesi che trasformano le notti di maggio in materia solida. Ci può essere qualcosa di più ridicolo?»

 

[Ettore Sottsass jr., 1970]

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.

Milano Design Week 2024
@isaloniofficial Salone del Mobile, Rho Fiera, Hall 24 Booth D01
.
During the Milano Design Week 2024, Centro Studi Poltronova returns to the ‘Salone del Mobile’ after thirty years with a “Hyper” exhibition to showcase its iconic collection. From April 16 to 21, the Tuscan brand will once again be among the protagonists at Hall 24, Booth D01. Poltronova presents the installation “Hyper Poltronova,” designed by Art Director Donatello D’Angelo and inspired by the 1972 exhibition “L’invenzione della superficie neutra” featuring various radical groups. The showcase is the result of a dematerialization of the exhibited products: the graphic elements and patterns defining the Poltronova collection lose their three-dimensionality to become surfaces. The change in dimension gives life to a single large pattern, which we could define as “neutral” in its heterogeneity, representing a synthesis of the brand’s diverse identity. The result is an immersive container of creativity with hyper pop style where one can discover and rediscover Poltronova’s design. The visual and performative journey unfolds through environments that recall, in form or color, the objects on display - more than 20 including Ettore Sottsass jr.’s Ultrafragola mirror, Safari, Superonda, and Mies seats by Archizoom Associati, Gianni Pettena’s Rumble sofa, and Franco Raggi’s Canton bench.
