For the occasion, Poltronova also presents the SUPERONDA FARFALLA prototype, for indoor and outdoor use. The Farfalla (Butterfly) fabric, designed by Archizoom in 1968, was a pop reinterpretation of the floral theme, and today is part of Poltronova’s fabric catalog. With the Farfalla fabric, the Superonda sofa becomes a work of art, in which we can read the continuity with that part of history. Poltronova.it
