Poltronova FARFALLA Multi-colored polyamide and elastane fabric

In the Farfalla the anti–system art of American artists such as Lichtenstein and, more generally, of Pop Art continues to develop.‎ The Farfalla pattern, designed by Archizoom in 1968, was a reinterpretation in an acid, pop key of the floral theme that came from a much more composed tradition, and is now part of Poltronova's nascent fabric catalogue.‎ «I have no idea how come, but I remember very well the reason why Massimo and I designed the fabric “Le farfalle”, [The Butterflies], by Poltronova.‎.‎.‎ The idea was to make decorations with flowers, but crossed with pop decorations, like Lichtenstein's, that imitated printers’ designs, creating [in our intent] a contrast between the floral theme and the “pop” theme.‎.‎.‎ In reality, the result was a lively fabric but not as acid as we expected; the “Over–the–Top Generation” of Archizoom was not yet mature.‎.‎.‎» [Andrea Branzi, 2022] Materials: polyamide and elastane fabric with polyurethane mid layer Color: Multi-coloured pattern Further info from manufacturer on FARFALLA Poltronova
