Put into production by Poltronova in 1991, the Cessato Allarme Coat stand was created in 1986 by Jonathan De Pas (1932-1991), Donato D'Urbino (1935), and Paolo Lomazzi (1936). This trio of designers embodied the Gold Age of Italian design in the 60s and 70s, as part of the anti-design movement.
Inspired by Pop Art, the Cessato Alarme Coat stand is made up of cones inspired by the alarm trumpets placed on lampposts during the last war. Yet there's nothing warlike about this Coat stand: it's pop and cheerful, and comes in a palette of bright colors. An empathetic, communicative object that personalizes its surroundings with a touch of playful anti-conformism.
Considered Italy's most avant-garde designer of the 20th century, Poltronova was born in 1957 from the meeting between Sergio Cammilli and Ettore Sottssas, who became the company's artistic director. A figurehead of anti-design and radical design, Poltronova helped change the history of design with its experimental, non-conformist approach. Freeing itself from commercial constraints, POLTRONOVA was the receptacle of radical trends, giving a voice to those who challenged the system and wished to express their creativity freely. Backed by the greatest talents of the time (Gae Aulenti, Archizoom, Superstudio, De Pas D'Urbino & Lomazzi, Paolo Portoghesi, Angelo Mangiarotti...), they imagined collections that were joyful and colorful, and above all extremely non-conformist. With no standards (except those they invent), Poltronova has chosen to flout the laws of marketing in order to offer visionary, experimental designs that are now part of museum collections the world over. Poltronova embodies a spirit of freedom, a value that is more essential than ever.
