The Saratoga sofa by Poltronova, designed in 1964 by **Lella and Massimo Vignelli**, is an icon of radical Italian design. Characterized by a geometric structure in lacquered wood, with rigorous lines and sharp angles, it is completed by padded cushions that enhance the contrast between rigidity and comfort.
Poltronova
Poltronova, fondata nel 1957 da Sergio Cammilli ad Agliana, in Toscana, ha rivoluzionato il settore dell’arredamento con un design fuori dagli schemi. Guidata dall’originalità e dalla visione di grandi maestri come Ettore Sottsass, art director del marchio, Gae Aulenti, Paolo Portoghesi, Giovanni Michelucci, Angelo Mangiarotti, il collettivo Archizoom, Superstudio e De Pas–D’Urbino–Lomazzi, Poltronova è stata protagonista del “Nuovo Design” radicale. Icone come la poltrona Joe e il divano modulare Superonda sono oggi opere d’arte riconosciute a livello internazionale. Dal 2005, il Centro Studi Poltronova custodisce l’archivio storico del marchio e continua a rieditare i suoi pezzi più celebri.
Lella & Massimo Vignelli
Lella (1934-2016) and Massimo Vignelli (1931-2014) were a pair of internationally renowned Italian designers, known for their modernist and minimalist approach. In 1960, they founded the studio "Lella and Massimo Vignelli Office of Design and Architecture" in Milan, specializing in product, interior and graphic design. Having moved to the United States, they established "Vignelli Associates" in New York in 1971, contributing to iconic projects such as the visual identity of American Airlines and the New York subway signage. Their work is exhibited in prestigious museums, including MoMA in New York, and they have received numerous awards, including the AIGA Gold Medal.
