The Joker Home Collection at Salone del Mobile 2025
Breaking Boundaries with Stellantis Design Studio
The Joker Home Collection is more than just furniture—it’s an experience. A journey into a rebellious soul, a tribute to boldness, chaos, and creativity that defies every convention. In collaboration with designer Klaus Busse and his team at Stellantis Design Studio, FORMITALIA, in partnership with WARNER BROS. Discovery Global Consumer Products, has crafted a series of pieces that transform any living space into a stage of emotions, where luxury and provocation merge in a perfect balance between order and madness.
The Asylum Armchair is not just a seat—it’s an experience designed to unsettle. Wrapped in a high-tech carbon fiber sailcloth, this armchair holds a sinister secret: with every touch, its fabric emits an eerie sound, reminiscent of confinement and isolation. This is not mere upholstery; it’s a sensory trigger, turning each movement into an unsettling interaction between the user and the object. The rigid yet enveloping structure amplifies the tension between comfort and unease, creating a paradoxical piece that is as luxurious as it is provocative. This armchair is a challenge, a statement of defiance against conventional design, where aesthetics and emotion collide to evoke a reaction that lingers long after one rises from its embrace.
On the other hand, The Smile Sofa embodies the bold, chaotic energy of Joker through a daring interplay of form and material. Its silhouette exaggerates the infamous grin, transforming it into an audacious piece of sculptural furniture. Sharp edges and undulating curves create a dynamic tension, drawing the eye and demanding attention. The deep red velvet upholstery intensifies its dramatic presence, giving it an almost hypnotic allure—at once inviting and unpredictable. This is not just a sofa; it’s a declaration of personality, an object that refuses to be ignored. Like the character that inspired it, The Smile Sofa is theatrical, enigmatic, and utterly uncompromising in its ability to command a space.
Commanding and irreverent, The Joker Throne stands at the center of the collection like a symbol of chaotic authority. Its hand-sculpted fiberglass shell is not merely a structural element—it’s a sculptural provocation, echoing the character’s infamous grin with a brutal elegance. The seat is enveloped in rich velvet, while the outer shell features unpredictable textures and finishes that catch the light and shift in tone, hinting at the Joker’s many faces. This is not a throne for silence or stillness—it’s a seat of control, tension, and self-expression. Designed for those who don’t just take space but own it, The Joker Throne turns any room into a scene, and the sitter into its leading role.
The Chaos Sofa rejects balance to embrace contrast. With its fragmented silhouette and broken symmetry, it channels the duality of Joker’s persona—part charm, part threat. Plush sections clash with angular cuts, while unexpected material pairings—soft velvet against cold metal, matte against gloss—create an experience that’s as tactile as it is visual. It doesn’t follow the rules of proportion or predictability, and that’s exactly the point. This is a sofa built not for harmony, but for statement. It invites a kind of beautiful discomfort, where design becomes dialogue and each detail dares the observer to look closer, question more, and never settle.
Behind the Madness
Creating The Joker Home Collection was itself a journey through contrast, craft, and controlled chaos. From early sketches to the final prototypes, every stage of development was infused with the same spirit of rebellion that defines the collection. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes gallery, we reveal the hands, tools, and processes that brought each provocative piece to life. It’s a glimpse into the raw energy of design in motion—where vision meets material, and where madness takes form.
