Italian Radical Design

The Poltronova Collection

Poltronova opened in Tuscany in 1957, and within a decade it was the most provocative furniture maker in Italy. With Ettore Sottsass as art director, it gave Archizoom, Superstudio and a generation of radical architects a factory to experiment in: the Superonda sofa, the Gherpe lamp, the Ultrafragola mirror. It's where Memphis learned to misbehave. Every piece here is original and documented, and sourced by Keith.
