Zanotta – Shiki sofa 241x112

Monobloc and modular sofas.The refined, quilted motif delimits the generous seat cushion, embellished by the sartorial detail of hand-made toggles in nuanced shades of the upholstery. The design is characterised by the dynamic alternation of different thicknesses and heights, mimicking an urban skyline, an architectural composition created from harmoniously contrasting materials, finishes and volumes.

Zanotta

Founded in 1954, Zanotta is recognized as one of the major protagonists of the history of Italian design. In particular since the 1960s, guided by the intuition and extraordinary entrepreneurial ability of its founder Aurelio Zanotta, conquer the international scene thanks to emblematic products for formal innovation. The technological research supported by the continuous evolution of the quality of materials and production processes is one of the best in the world. The cultured and precious history of Zanotta is renewed in 2017 in the union with Tecno starting a common project. This implies the consequent strengthening of synergies and commercial strategies at the international level under the guidance of Giuliano Mosconi. It brings irony to the domestic universe, which suggests different ways to feel better in the world of the home, which for the first time has included in its catalog the works of the great masters of design, creating an unparalleled "collection" of masterpieces, awarded and exhibited in the most important design museums.
