In 1954, Aurelio Zanotta founded his namesake label with a vision to revolutionize furniture design.
Zanotta saw furniture as a form of cultural expression, akin to traditional artistic pursuits. This innovative approach led him to collaborate with legendary icons of Italian design, propelled by his instinct, charisma, and interest in emerging materials and technologies.
Today, Zanotta’s catalog boasts over 200 items created by 131 designers from 18 countries, showcasing an exceptional degree of diverse character. However, the common thread that unites these pieces is their originality—a hallmark of the Zanotta project.
From established masters to emerging talents like Roberto Barbieri, Damian Williamson, and Frank Rettenbacher, Zanotta consistently delivers unique and groundbreaking designs. Their product range encompasses sofas, beds, chairs, tables, accessories, and outdoor creations, including limited editions. Many of Zanotta’s products have achieved iconic status, lauded for their innovations in typology, technology, and form.
These revered pieces, such as Sacco, Mezzadro, Sciangai, Quaderna, Tonietta, and Leonardo, continue to be sought after and remain relevant in the world of design, featured in academic publications and esteemed decorative arts institutions worldwide.
