For those who didn’t have the chance to visit Salone del Mobile 2025 — or just want to relive the dream — here’s your personal tour.
Poltronova’s XS – ExtraSurface wasn’t just an exhibition.
It was a dissolution of the domestic, a shimmering space of drapes, mirrors, and radical memories.
From Superstudio to Sottsass, from Pettena to Hollein — a landscape of icons in constant flux.
No longer a home. Not quite a museum.
But a tactile fiction that still lingers, long after the fair is wrapped up.
XS is over. But it keeps resonating.

— Poltronova embraces the world of collectibles with its first series of realistic miniatures. Rumble, Safari, Sofo, and Superonda become (almost) pocket-sized in faithful 1:8 scale reproductions.
— Great design, scaled down.
The iconic modular designs you love are now available as miniatures: small in size, big in detail.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted to precisely reflect the original colors, materials, and proportions. Not just collectible items, but an invitation to explore new combinations and configurations, right in the palm of your hand.

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.

More than fifty years later, two icons by Ettore Sottsass return to the Poltronova catalog: “After seventeen years, Ettore is still missed… so we thought, together with Studio Sottsass, of bringing back these two pieces: the Califfo sofa from 1964 and the Crazy Horse table from 1968. They’re simple and strong, as if they were designed yesterday.”

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.
