SUPERONDA + TERRAZZO By Poltronova
Collection: Superonda
Designer: Archizoom Associati , Bethan Laura Wood
Manufacture year: 2022
Type: Fabric sofa
Designed in 1967 by the Florentine Radical group Archizoom, Superonda was the first sofa without a conventional frame. It is composed of two waves made from a polyurethane block cut into two parts with an S—shaped incision, which can be interlocked and stacked to produce different configurations. The lightness and modular design permit a range of various uses: Superonda can be a sofa, a bed or a chaise longue. Like many of the pieces designed by the Archizoom group, it challenges bourgeois conventions, stimulating the creativity and fantasy of the user. Bethan’s time living in Venice had a lasting effect on her, whilst partaking in a residency in 2010 set inside a beautiful Venetian Palazzo, Bethan fell head over heels with the Terrazzo that covered every inch of the space, captivated by the multiple types of patternation, Bethan has been drawn to make work influenced by this ever since. In honor of being invited to design a covering of the icon Superonda (Archizoom Associati) sofa, Bethan decided to create a super fake terrazzo in which precious stones could have been mined from the psychedelic landscape that the Superonda creates. Materials: Frame: cut from a block of polyurethane Covering: polyamide and elastane fabric with polyurethane mid layer Color: Multi-coloured pattern
