Design as rebellion: the Joker home collection
This daring concept comes from the partnership between FORMITALIA, Stellantis Design Studio, and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products.
In a bold fusion of storytelling, design, and emotion, the Joker Home Collection by FORMITALIA, in collaboration with designer Klaus Busse and the Stellantis Design Studio, redefines what it means to live with character. More than a furniture line, this collection is an immersive journey into the psyche of rebellion, paying homage to chaos, creativity, and the seductive power of subversion.
Inspired by the mythos of the iconic DC character, the Joker, each piece is meticulously crafted to embody not just luxury but an unfiltered emotional experience. Velvet reigns supreme in the collection, wrapping every piece in tactile opulence, while contrasting materials provoke and challenge the senses.
Icons of irreverence
At the core of the collection stands the Joker Throne—a sculptural seat that doubles as a manifesto. Its fibreglass shell, shaped to echo the infamous Glasgow Smile, turns the act of sitting into a declaration of defiance. It is not furniture. It is a stage.
The Asylum Armchair takes the narrative even further. With fabric reminiscent of carbon fibre sailcloth, it emits eerie, claustrophobic sounds when touched—turning motion into tension and stillness into anticipation. It doesn’t just fill a space—it haunts it.
Meanwhile, the Smile Sofa delivers drama in curves and crimson. Evoking the Joker’s exaggerated grin, it is both audacious and oddly inviting. Upholstered in deep red velvet, its sculptural boldness transforms the living room into a theatre of the absurd—luxurious, provocative, and unforgettable.
Design that defies convention
This collection is not for the faint-hearted. It speaks to a new generation of homeowners who reject conformity and seek pieces that tell a story—loudly. Each design challenges traditional notions of harmony, elegance, and decorum, making room instead for emotional design that is raw, expressive, and at times unsettling.
As the Joker himself has morphed through decades while retaining an essence of unpredictability, this collection captures that same spirit. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about attitude.
