{"title":"Gianni Pettena","description":"\u003cp\u003eGianni Pettena, born in Bolzano in 1940, graduated in architecture in Florence in 1968 and belonged to the original core of Italy’s Radical architecture. As an artist in residence in the United States he conceived Ice House, a plan to cover a Minneapolis school in ice, and from 1973 to 2008 he taught contemporary architectural history in Florence. The Canadian Centre for Architecture holds his archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoltronova now produces Rumble, the sofa he designed in 1967 while living in a vast nineteenth-century atelier, where furniture had to match the scale of the space rather than the human body.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"poltronova-rumble","title":"Rumble","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe design of this sofa derives from the experience of living in a large place, originally a 19th—century atelier for artists, where the furniture had to be conceived on the scale of the place and not on a human scale. It is an object that dialogues with the volume of the overall space and takes into account the fact that that is where it is used. The sofa is a simple, original form, a womb where everything happens or has already happened, but which still suggests possibilities, other things that can happen there. It is an object that breaks up form as it breaks up function; it acquires meaning when the clean geometry of the initial status quo is upset by equally ungrammatical functions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poltronova","offers":[{"title":"Pink","offer_id":42865301880917,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":42907694989397,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green","offer_id":42907695022165,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":42907695054933,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0101\/3822\/2677\/files\/rumble-01-1792x1174px.jpg?v=1786611379"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0101\/3822\/2677\/collections\/gianni-pettena-BW-1400x1400px.jpg?v=1792499997","url":"https:\/\/www.spacefurniture.com.au\/collections\/gianni-pettena.oembed","provider":"Space Furniture AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
