Zanotta, which has always been attentive to the enhancement of the historic products in the collection, proposes an unprecedented reading of the Maggiolina by Marco Zanuso, introducing in the catalog the version with upholstered elements covered in fabric, in accordance with the original design of 1947.
The armchair, with ergonomic comfort and welcoming, appears even more contemporary with the material contrast between the fabric of the cushions, the leather of the armrests and of the body and the metal of the structure. Maggiolina, in production by Zanotta since 1972, is one of the brand's bestselling products, a symbol of Italian “good design”, a functional and sustainable product designed to last over time.
The chaise longue designed in 1947 by Marco Zanuso, the great Milanese designer tireless experimenter of materials and technologies applied to design, was for the time an innovative project, which abandoned the traditional notions of the armchair as a padded structure that makes use of artisan skills, to experiment with a new constructive system designed for industrial mass production. Maggiolina's design is based on the advancement of the modern method, with a functional breaking down of elements: an elegant tubular stainless steel structure (18/8 polished or black painted steel tubular frame or with natural or black nickel-satin finish); a semi-rigid shell in cowhide pigmentato 90 and two soft cushions with goose down padding for the back and in polyurethane / Dacron Du Pont for the seat.
