The Cuculia centrepiece, designed in 1985 by renowned architect and designer Alessandro Mendini, is an extraordinary example of Italian design that continues to inspire. Originally produced by Zanotta in the 1980s, this iconic piece has recently been brought back into production as a tribute to the great master. Made of polished polyurethane, Cuculia is distinguished by its organic and sinuous shape.
The uniqueness of this centrepiece lies in its two glossy lacquer colours: one for the top and the other for the base. These colours are applied with extreme precision, creating an effect of visual continuity and harmony. The Cuculia is not only a functional object, but also a work of art that reflects Mendini's aesthetics and ingenuity, celebrating his enduring contribution to the world of design.
BRAND HIGHLIGHT
When Aurelio Zanotta opened the doors to his eponymous label in 1954, its initial focus was on the production of sofas and armchairs which, at the time, were overwhelmingly the domain of upholstery workshops. But Zanotta’s vision far exceeded the largely utilitarian scope of local upholsterers. Beyond its surface functionality, he recognizedin furniture design a new form of cultural expression—a venerable creative outlet worthy of the same respect afforded to traditional artistic exploits like painting and sculpture.
