Poltronova is a company that has made history.
Founded by Sergio Cammilli in 1957, Poltronova was the first to include in its catalog both the mentors (Gae Aulenti, Giovanni Michelucci, Angelo Mangiarotti, Paolo Portoghesi) as well as the leading exponents of New Design, who were then called radicals (the young Archizoom and Superstudio groups), reflecting the multifaceted nature of Italian design. In the early years of the company’s history a fundamental contribution was made by Ettore Sottsass Jr., who became its art director in 1958, with Poltronova producing scores of his designs, from furniture to ceramics.
