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.
“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”, said Klaus Busse – Head of Stellantis Design Studio.

About Ken Zino
Ken Zino, editor and publisher of AutoInformed, is a versatile auto industry participant with global experience spanning decades in print and broadcast journalism, as well as social media. He has automobile testing, marketing, public relations and communications experience. He is past president of The International Motor Press Assn, the Detroit Press Club, founding member and first President of the Automotive Press Assn. He is a member of APA, IMPA and the Midwest Automotive Press Assn.
He also brings an historical perspective while citing their contemporary relevance of the work of legendary auto writers such as Ken Purdy, Jim Dunne or Jerry Flint, or writers such as Red Smith, Mark Twain, Thomas Jefferson – all to bring perspective to a chaotic automotive universe.
Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine. Zino has also worked in Europe, and Asia – now the largest automotive market in the world with China at its center.
