Califfo

Designed by Ettore Sottsass

The Califfo sofa, designed in 1962 by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova, returns to production in 2025 after a long absence. Califfo is one and threefold: its supporting structure is a bench with a backrest and side sections made of wooden slats. It comes with soft, upholstered cushions for the seat, backrests, and armrests; it can serve as a living room sofa, a daybed for an unexpected guest, or a spot for an afternoon nap. More than just a sofa, it is a versatile piece, free from the mechanisms typical of commercial sofa beds, and it shows how Sottsass's design effortlessly merges aesthetics and function with simplicity and elegance.

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.
