$🍬 Plasma Armchair and footrest by Nigel Coates . In the context of Nigel Coates’ growing interest in furniture, the Plasma armchair reflects the English designer’s taste for designing essential forms by digital means. Composed of a set of cushions in different tones placed on a slender metal structure with harmonious curves, Plasma combines the simplicity of a continuous graphic sign with the complex technology of the structure, made with computerized methods of bending and welding. With a footrest, it is also available for outdoor use. . . . . . . #poltronova #archizoom #nigelcoates #plasma #plasmaarmchair #plasmachair #radicaldesign #popdesign #design #italiandesign #madeinitaly #chair #armchair#cushions #interior . . . music track by @infractionimhere$

🐌 Gherpe
Table lamp designed by Superstudio
.
The Gherpe table lamp does not belong to the traditional typologies of lighting fixtures placed on a surface, due to its form like the shell of a marine creature, and to its use of an industrial material like methacrylate. It represents one of the first examples of an interactive luminous object, which thanks to its relationship with the user is capable of changing its tone: from white light for illumination, to colored light to alter the emotional perception of a space.

🌊 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.

💭 Rumble: playful sofa by Gianni Pettena
.
The design of this sofa derives from the experience of living in a large place, originally a 19th century atelier for artists, where the furniture had to be conceived on the scale of the place and not on a human scale. It is an object that dialogues with the volume of the overall space and takes into account the fact that that is where it is used. The sofa is a simple, original form, a womb where everything happens or has already happened, but which still suggests possibilities, other things that can happen there. It is an object that breaks up form as it breaks up function; it acquires meaning when the clean geometry of the initial status quo is upset by equally ungrammatical functions.

This monograph of the series is entirely dedicated to Ultrafragola, a mirror/lamp designed by Ettore Sottsass jr., one of the most significant and important figures of international architecture and design of the 20th century who, from the 1950s to the 1970s, was creative director of the Poltronova brand.
