Enter a realm where space age dreams come true and creativity knows no bounds. Here is the Superonda, a masterpiece that defies convention and embodies the spirit of an era in transformation.
Designed in 1967 by the visionary Florentine collective Archizoom for Poltronova, this deconstructed sofa is the epitome of art and liberation. Crafted from two soft blocks of polyurethane, the Superonda invites you to embrace a world of infinite possibilities. Its sinuous curves, cut along an undulating line, exude an air of freedom and nonconformism, inviting you to reimagine the very essence of living spaces. Clad in a sleek, futuristic plastic material, it shines like a beacon of innovation.
This avant-garde creation can also be used as a bench, a sofa, a chaise-longue or even a bed, rearranging itself effortlessly to suit your every whim. Its amaranth colored vinyl upholstery, like a warm embrace, adds a touch of elegance to the bold design, enveloping you in comfort and style. Imagine a world where boundaries dissolve, where furniture becomes an artistic expression of individuality. Superonda made its sensational debut at the “Superarchitettura” exhibition at the illustrious Jolly Gallery in Pistoia, capturing hearts and minds with its revolutionary vision.
The brainchild of the Archizoom collective, this extraordinary piece caught not only the eyes of Sergio Camilli, the visionary owner of Poltronova, but also the admiration of the legendary Ettore Sottsass, the company’s art director. A testament to his ingenuity and charm. Superonda’s secret lies in its ‘S’-shaped sign, a magical incision that divides the polyurethane block in two. In this act of artistic alchemy, two curved geometries emerge which merge and overlap in a harmonious dance. This furniture creation is more than just a design; embodies the essence of a generation that sought a revolution. A generation eager for unconventional lifestyles, freed from the constraints of traditional architecture. In Superonda they have found their voice, their dream come true.
Embrace the essence of freedom, the avant-garde spirit that defies conformity. Let the Superonda whisk you away to a world where imagination reigns supreme, where the boundaries of possibilities expand, and where living spaces become a canvas for self-expression.
Welcome the Superonda into your life, and become part of the transformative journey. Surrender to its embrace and experience the metamorphosis it brings to your space – a masterpiece of art, a celebration of ingenuity, and an ode to boundless creativity.
