Za:Za is a sofa created from an exclusively monobloc research, with soft lines, a tender, embracing expression of a language that takes into account not only aesthetics and comfort, but also the rationalisation of production and recycling processes, to provide a comfortable and discerning product.
Description and materials
A cylindrical tubular steel frame defines the structure of the sofa, which is solid and welded in a single piece and available in matt black and red. The metal framework supports suspended polyester straps (in anthracite) which, fixed at the front, rise loosely up to the backrest to create a housing for the upholstered elements. The armrests, backrest and seat are fitted like a made to measure suit so that they almost completely cover the frame and straps to which they are attached by means of a series of snap fasteners. The padding is made from a non-removable inner lining of reclaimed and recyclable polyester which contains two soft elements: polyurethane, positioned in the lower or rear part of the cushion, and microspheres of recycled and recyclable polyester in the upper or front part. No adhesives are used to assemble the various paddings, which are placed in individual cushions inside different pockets. The combination of these materials guarantees a cosy comfort. Removable outer fabric cover. The sofa is only available as a monobloc in three compact and well-proportioned sizes: 2-seater, 2-seater extended and 3-seater sofas
Innovative content
The comfort of the sofa is achieved by completely replacing the usual orthogonal structure with a flat base. The ergonomic structure provided by the loose straps fol-lows the principle of a hammock that accommodates and suspends the upholstered elements, taking on a natural curve and conforming perfectly to the user. A comfortable and sustainable sofa, assembled without using adhesives and with recycled, recyclable and easily dismantled materials.
“Za:Za, as its name suggests, is the result of a close collaboration between Zaven and Zanotta, a work of synthesis and deconstruction, where the classic elements that make up the sofa have been individually examined, broken down and reduced to their bare essentials” (Studio Zaven)
