Safari Sofa - Poltronova

Design by Archizoom Associati

The Safari sofa features a unique wave-inspired design, with a backsplash carved in the shape of a tribal ritual. Composed of four flexible parts, it was produced for the first time in 1968 by Poltronova with an experimental fiberglass structure. Its leopard covering chosen by Archizoom, in homage to Claes Oldenburg, gives it an artistic touch. Present in prestigious museums and exhibited around the world, the Safari sofa combines timeless elegance and captivating history. It is perfect for lovers of distinguished design and contemporary art.

The Poltronova brand

Founded in 1957, the Poltronova company was born from the meeting between Ettore Sottsass and Sergio Cammilli. At this time, many Italian manufacturing companies were passionate about anti-design which was in the spirit of the times.
But no one will do it with as much passion as Poltronova.
Coming from the art world, Sergio Cammilli wanted to renovate the design of housing and found in Sottsass an ideal ally who became, from the outset, his artistic director.
Poltronova defines itself above all as a place of research and experimentation on materials, shapes and new languages.

Poltronova helped change the history of design and was propelled to the international stage as one of the most avant-garde furniture companies in 20th century Italy.
