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.

⭐️ Tappeto Stella & Stellina
Rug design by D’Urbino Lomazzi
Made by @poltronova with @cc_tapis
.
The star symbol, often used in team sports to indicate victories in particular competitions, has always been a distinguishing feature of the Joe armchair designed by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi. First branded on leather, then embroidered in special editions in denim and faux fur, today it is the generating sign of the rugs dedicated to the iconic armchair. Stella and Stellina, in grey and navy blue hues, are a tribute to the historic uniform of the New York Yankees, just as the armchair for which the star was born is itself a tribute to a myth of American popular culture, the key player of the New York team, Joe DiMaggio.

🦄 ULTRAFAVOLA: Poltronova beyond the mirror
Milano Design Week 2023
.
On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2023, Centro Studi Poltronova renews its synergy with Mosca Partners for Design Variations, this time crossing the threshold of the Palazzo del Circolo Filologico Milanese in the heart of the Brera Design District. From 17 to 23 April, the Tuscan company will take centre stage. In the large and evocative Liberty Hall, under the luminous eye of a suggestive skylight, in a maze of rooms suspended in space and time, iconic objects and unusual new proposals will be displayed as if they had jumped out of one of the over ten thousand volumes of the library of the city`s oldest cultural association that has its headquarters here. With ULTRAFAVOLA, inspired by its own “best seller”, the Ultrafragola mirror designed by Ettore Sottsass, the Centro Studi Poltronova, just like in Lewis Carroll`s novel Through the Looking Glass and what Alice Found There, invites you to go beyond reflective surfaces to discover the magical dimension of part of its fantastic product catalogue.

Mies, armchair by Archizoom Associati, Elle Decor Design Forever, Palazzo Bovara, Milan Design Week 2022.
.
Studio Calvi Brambilla choosed Poltronova for Palazzo Bovara. The exhibition curated by one of the most eclectic and interesting realities of the Italian scene, showed MIES by Archizoom Associati in the Hybrid Room. A seat dedicated to Mies van der Rohe, created in the year of his death (1969), and two light points to illuminate, ideally, the direction taken sixty years ago by the Tuscan company in interior design.
MIES is made of a strip of para rubber or caoutchouc, resistant elastic materials, fixed to a chromed metal triangle that highlights the purity of the shape. The headrest cushion and the illuminated footrest are in pony skin. In its rigorous geometry, the Mies armchair synthesizes the philosophy of Archizoom Associati, leading exponents of the Italian Radical Movement, born around the second half of the Sixties.
