The Gomma armchair is not only an example of good design, but also a reflection of the cultural and social context of the 1970s, a period when design was exploring new frontiers and breaking with the conventions of the past.

This revolutionary approach helped make the Gomma armchair an enduring symbol of modern design, still evoking the dynamism and optimism of that era.

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.
