Ultrafragola
by Ettore Sottsass jr.
«As for the lights that are coming out of “The grey furniture”, don’t tombs always have a trembling light to illuminate the blue of the spirits wandering in the valley of dust? Don’t submarines have a trembling green light in their belly? The lights anyway are supposed to come out from the fibreglass bodies, like the ever—glowing of the breast’s white skin, like the ever—glowing of the penis red head in pornographic nights, something of this kind: I mean something like the Japanese lights of the glow worm that are turning the nights into matter. Could anything be more ridiculous?»
[Ettore Sottsass jr., 1970]

⚡️🍓𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐀: ETTORE SOTTSASS JR.
•
From the 1950s to the 1970s, Ettore Sottsass jr., one of the most significant and important figures of international architecture and design of the 20th century, was creative director of the Poltronova brand.
This monograph of the series is entirely dedicated to Ultrafragola, a mirror/lamp designed by Sottsass, one of the most innovative design pieces that, together, contribute to constitute a micro-history of Italian design.
•
Centro Studi Poltronova presents a series of monographs dedicated to the most famous products, true icons of contemporary design. The research work has led to the edition of a series of publications related to the historic Poltronova brand. Among other purposes, Centro Studi Poltronova was created in 2005 to build an archive of important documents.

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.

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.
