Poltronova
Superonda Stripes
In 2017 Poltronova pays tribute to Superonda –an anti–design iconic piece of furniture that fully preserves its outrageously playful nature– by calling on all members of the Radical team to design a new, celebrative outfit for the six Superonda limited edition: Pois by Cristina Morozzi per Massimo Morozzi / No–Stop by Gilberto Corretti / Spots by Paolo Deganello / Stripes by Andrea Branzi / Dressing by Dario Bartolini per Lucia Bartolini / Babele Decoded by Dario Bartolini.

Poltronova
In the 1960s, in a region such as Tuscany which produced literally nothing in the field of design, Poltronova had all the best on its team: not just Ettore Sottsass, who was its art director, but Gae Aulenti, Paolo Portoghesi, Giovanni Michelucci, Angelo Mangiarotti, the Archizoom and Superstudio groups, De Pas-D’Urbino-Lomazzi; not just the mentors, but also the leading exponents of New Design who were then called radicals…
The Centro Studi Poltronova was created in 2005 for two reasons: to archive important documents associated with the original Poltronova Company, and also to make some of its more iconic furniture and lighting pieces available in the marketplace.
Andrea Branzi
Andrea Branzi was born in Florence in 1938 and co-founded Archizoom Associati there in 1966, the year he graduated in architecture. Based in Milan from 1973, he worked with Studio Alchimia and Memphis, was founding director of Domus Academy, taught at the Politecnico di Milano and won three Compasso d’Oro awards, one for his career. He died in Milan in 2023.
For the fiftieth anniversary of Superonda, the sofa he designed with Archizoom in 1967, Poltronova invited him to create Superonda Stripes, one of six limited editions presented at the Milan Triennale in 2018.
