Founded by Aurelio Zanotta in 1954, the eponymously-named design house has been firmly in the international spotlight ever since. Designed for daily enjoyment and functionality without compromising on style or form, Zanotta’s creations anticipate future needs to become the definition of contemporary luxury. Committed to using premium materials for the highest quality finish, each of Zanotta’s designs is created by expert craftspeople at its base in Nova Milanese.

Renowned across the globe as a prestigious manufacturer of iconic design, Zanotta’s repertoire includes classics from some of the design industry’s most iconic names, such as Carlo Mollino, Damian Williamson, Achille Castiglioni and Emaf Progetti. Creating a staggering total of 550 designs over the last six decades, it is no wonder that Zanotta is honoured with pieces in the permanent collections at some of the world’s prestigious museums and institutions.

Designed by internationally renowned architect and university lecturer Marco Zanuso, the Maggiolina is a perfect example of the ways in which he strove to amalgamate technological, industrial factors and experimental, innovative design.

The strong, lightweight frame is crafted from stainless steel, injecting the design with a contemporary, industrial aesthetic that is simply juxtaposed with the supple leather cushion pads and arm rests.

Support is offered by the polyurethane stuffed seat pad and goose feather stuffed back rest, opulently covered premium tan leather. The sling in which the seat pads sit is formed of strong calf skin hide, adding a relaxed edge to the clean lines of the stainless steel structure.
