Locus Solus daybed by Gae Aulenti for Poltronova, 1960s-70s.
Poltronova is a company that has made history: founded by Sergio Cammilli in 1957 in Tuscany, it was the first to include in its catalog mentor figures such as Gae Aulenti, Giovanni Michelucci and Angelo Mangiarotti. In the early years of the company's history, a key contribution was made by Ettore Sottsass, who became its artistic director in 1958; the company produced dozens of his designs, from furniture to ceramics. Poltronova has participated in important exhibitions and events in the history of Italian design.
Gae Aulenti, a pseudonym for Gaetana Emilia Aulenti (Palazzolo dello Stella, Dec. 4, 1927 - Milan, Oct. 31, 2012), was an Italian designer and architect, particularly dedicated to the theme of exhibition and architectural restoration. Considered among the best architects of her generation, she left an indelible mark on the history of international design. Throughout her long career, she won numerous awards, including the prestigious Imperial Prize for Architecture awarded by the Japan Art Association in Tokyo.
