Giotto is a swivel and height adjustable stool in natural beech with red cruise.
Zanotta – Giotto stool
Another great classic, designed by De Pas D'Urbino Lomazzi with effective simplicity, starting from the stools seen many times in architecture studios. A structure consisting of three legs of natural beech, joined by a metallic cross painted red, deliberately exhibited, as well as clearly visible is the threaded support that supports the circular seat and allows easy adjustment in height.
De Pas, D'Urbino, Lomazzi
Born in Milan in the 1930s, they have been working together since 1966 in the design of architectures, objects, installations, furnishings and urban planning. In the 1960s they developed a business of creating temporary furniture and architecture, characterized by the use of signs, advanced industrial materials and technologies: they design and create a series of pneumatic housing structures for the Italian Pavilion at the World Expo in Osaka and for the XIV Triennale in Milan.
In 1972 they participated in the exhibition "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape" at the m.o.m.a. in New York. They continue their experimentation on the "boundary" design between architecture and design, through numerous installations, including that for the exhibition "Italienische Möbel Design 1950/80" in Cologne. In 1979 they received the Compasso d'Oro award. Their works are collected in the most important museums in the world. Their production is documented in the historical literature on Italian design and in the main international publications of the sector. They have been collaborating with Zanotta since 1966. L'arch. De Pas disappeared in 1991.
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.
