Poltronova
Superonda Spots
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.
Paolo Deganello
Paolo Deganello was born in Este, near Padua, in 1940, graduated in architecture in Florence in 1966 and that year co-founded Archizoom Associati. His designs include the AEO armchair of 1973 and the Torso chair of 1982 for Cassina, the Documenta Chair of 1987, now in the Vitra Design Museum, and the Re and Regina chairs for Zanotta. From 1991 he taught at the ISIA in Florence.
For Poltronova he gave Archizoom’s wave-shaped sofa a new, untamed skin with Superonda Spots, one of the six limited editions that marked its fiftieth anniversary in 2017.
