Zanotta is an Italian piece of furniture company particularly known for the iconic pieces of Italian design it produced in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. These include the "Sacco" bean bag chair and "Accident", the first mass-produced inflatable chair. The company was founded in 1954 and has its main plant in Nova Milanese. In 1984 Zanotta established its experimental partitioning, Zabro, headed by Alessandro Guerriero, with Alessandro Mendini and Stefano Casciani. Since the death of its founder, Aurelio Zanotta, in 1991, it has been run by members of his family. Zanotta'south products were awarded the Compasso d'Oro in 1967, 1979, 1987 and 2020.

History [edit]

The company was founded in 1954 by the immature entrepreneur Aurelio Zanotta with its manufacturing plant in Nova Milanese where it remains to the present 24-hour interval. Originally chosen Zanotta Poltrona, at first it specialised in fairly traditional upholstered furniture. However, by the early on 1960s, the company had established a reputation for modern pattern and began commissioning advanced works by designers such as Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Gae Aulenti, Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini and Piero Gatti-Cesare Paolini-Franco Teodoro.[1] [2]

In 1965 Zanotta was 1 of the first furniture companies to apply expanded polyurethane foam and frameless structure in its designs, most notably the "Throw Away" serial of sofas and armchairs designed past Willie Landels.[a] One of Zanotta's about enduring successes was its 1968 "Sacco" bean pocketbook chair, designed by Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro. Sacco has been awarded the XXVI Premio Compasso d'Oro in 2020. and information technology is exhibited in 26 museums of modern fine art all over the world, among them the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. It was originally to have used polyurethane foam off-cuts for the filling but somewhen settled on polystyrene beads. From the 1970s Zanotta achieved further success by re-issuing earlier designs which in their day had been considered too avant-garde for mass product. These included the "Larianna" tubular steel chair designed by Giuseppe Terragni in 1936 and the "Mezzadro" stool designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in the belatedly 1950s.[4] [five]

Zanotta established Zabro, its experimental division, in 1983 headed by Alessandro Mendini and Alessandro Guerriero.[b] Amongst the pieces Zabro produced were Mendini's "Dorifora" chair in 1984 and the furniture serial "Animali Domestici" (Domestic Animals) designed by Andrea Branzi in 1986.[2]. The visitor launched Zanotta Edizioni coordinated by Stefano Casciani in 1989, "a special drove exploring the boundaries between art and blueprint." The pieces were produced in limited editions and combined industrial manufacture with paw-painted ornamentation.[four]

In 1989, Aurelio Zanotta and several of his designers including Achille Castiglioni, Gae Aulenti, Andrea Branzi, and Ettore Sottsass attended the International Blueprint Conference in Aspen.[7] The briefing theme that yr was The Italian Manifesto.[2] In his talk at the conference Zanotta described the emergence of the mid-20-century revolution in Italian blueprint and the early years of his ain business organisation:

Those were years of neat vitality, in that location was an explosion of constructive energy, a profound desire to sweep abroad the past and create a new world. The miracle of Italian design grew out of this widely felt urge to renew everything.[8]

After Aurelio Zanotta's decease in 1991, the visitor remained in his family. Since 2002 it has been run by Zanotta's three children, Eleonora, Francesca, and Martino. The Italian piece of furniture company Tecno purchased eighty% of Zanotta's shares in 2017. Yet, the two companies maintain separate production, design and direction structures.[4] [9]

Notable designs [edit]

Notable designs produced by Zanotta include:

  • "Lariana" chair (1936) originally designed by Giuseppe Terragni for the Casa del Fascio. The chair, made from tubular stainless steel with a wooden back and seat, was reissued by Zanotta in 1971 and remained in production until 1995.[ten] [2] [c]

Zanotta began manufacturing it in 1971 and gave it the name "Mezzadro" which means "sharecropper", an allusion to the agronomical associations of its seat.
