Founded in 1954 by Aurelio Zanotta, the company is one of the brands that wrote the first chapters of the most important Italian design history in the world. Curiosity, instinct, and charisma are hallmarks of the founder, who steered the company toward new technologies and materials, drawing upon himself the skills of great designers. With a pioneering approach and a radical, cultured design, Zanotta has combined research and culture with originality and, at times, irony. The Zanotta collection is characterized by a great diversity that combines the work of once-forgotten masters (Zanotta Edizioni) with that of some often-discovered new talents. It offers armchairs, sofas, beds, chairs, tables, furnishing accessories, coffee tables, various furniture, outdoor products, and numbered and limited editions. Its pieces are present in the permanent collections of 60 museums worldwide.
