The non-conformist pop icon armchair of the Sixties and symbol of freedom is back in production. One of the first frameless armchairs, made entirely of polyurethane foam.
The soft, wave-like surface draws inspiration from the designer's homeland, the Republic of Karelia in Finland, indented by bays and gulfs. The new fabric covering replaces the vinyl of the 1970s.
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.
