Poltronova
Crazy Horse
The Crazy Horse table, designed in 1968 by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova, returns to production in 2025. Its slender laminated top is supported by four bold, painted metal legs. The geometric essentiality of the form plays against the dynamic tilt of the legs—true protagonists of this project named after the iconic Parisian cabaret founded in 1951. This piece feels strikingly contemporary and proves that great design continues to tell stories—beyond trends and passing fads.

- The Designer
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.
Ettore Sottsass
Ettore Sottsass was born in Innsbruck in 1917, graduated in architecture in Turin in 1939 and opened his Milan studio in 1947. From 1958 he worked as a consultant to Olivetti, where his Elea 9003 computer won a Compasso d’Oro, and in the 1980s he led the Memphis group and founded Sottsass Associati. He died in Milan in 2007.
For Poltronova, where he was art director, he designed the Califfo sofa of 1962, the Crazy Horse table of 1968 and the Ultrafragola mirror, the only piece of his 1970 Mobili Grigi series to reach production.
