Stellantis Design Studio and Formitalia Unveil Exclusive Furniture Collection Inspired by The Joker

• Stellantis Design Studio, in collaboration with Formitalia and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP), proudly presents The Joker Collection – An all-new, daring and provocative furniture line inspired by the notorious DC Super-Villain
• Set to debut at Salone del Mobile 2025, Fiera Milano Rho, April 8-13 (Hall 13 - Stand D26/D28), this exclusive collection redefines luxury with unapologetically bold designs and a dark humor that is both welcoming yet unsettling

A Villain’s Lair Reimagined and a Celebration of Chaos
What does relaxation look like for The Joker? How does one find comfort in chaos?

This collection dares to answer those questions, creating a space that is as unsettling as it is mesmerizing—a lair where contradiction thrives, beauty is twisted, and chaos becomes harmony.

Inspired by the iconic characteristics of The Clown Prince of Crime, the collection embodies unpredictability, rebellion and chaos, turning traditional furniture into unexpected and bold design.

“We loved the idea of creating this villain’s lair, a welcoming space that fosters a false sense of security in its guests.” Hugo Nightingale - Global Creative Director at Stellantis Design Studio
 

Highlights include:

Asylum Armchair - this chair uses restraint as inspiration for comfort with a twisted style that is both welcoming and disconcerting. It represents The Joker’s unbalanced and unexpected essence.

Chaos Sofa - This item is designed with a duality that mirrors The Joker’s unpredictable nature. Deconstructed and anarchic, the design invites a double read, challenging conventional aesthetics.

The Joker Throne - With bold, contrasting colors, this piece captures The Joker’s narcissistic flair and permanent, disfigured smile. These elements bring a sense of tension and rebellion, yet also a twisted sense of humor.

The Smile Sofa - This piece features asymmetric forms and distressed materials, symbolizing The Joker’s instability and imperfection.

The Prankster / Dispenser - The design is a playful yet sinister mix of style, reflecting the unpredictable nature and complex personality of The Joker. It’s mischievous and quirky, with unexpected design elements.

Each piece is unapologetically bold, with exaggerated forms that make them true showstoppers, transforming living spaces into an immersive experience, as a celebration of the provocative and unpredictable personality of The Joker.

“This collection is a bold statement of duality and conflict, capturing the chaotic and mysterious spirit of The Joker. It’s a celebration of the unapologetic and unpredictable, making each piece a true work of art”,  Klaus Busse - Head of Stellantis Design Studio

Design Meets Disruption: The Process
Bringing The Joker Collection to life was an unconventional journey of creativity and experimentation.

Creative Concepts Development
The Joker collection was inspired by the iconic characteristics of The Clown Prince of Crime: Unpredictable, Chaos, Unexpected, Rebel, Showstopper.

We harnessed the power of AI to capture the mood of The Joker’s environment. Using these new tools, we push boundaries and craft bold new forms, experimenting with playful yet provocative mix of styles, reflecting the unpredictable nature and complex personality of The Joker.

Design & Prototyping with Formitalia
Working closely with Formitalia’s expert artisans, the designs were optimized for ergonomics, materials, and luxury craftsmanship, bringing together unapologetic bold designs with Italian savoir-faire.
