Zanotta at Milano Design Week 2025

Zanotta at Milan Design Week 2025: New Collaborations and Re-editions of Iconic Designs
Zanotta takes part in Milan Design Week 2025 with a dynamic presentation of new collaborations, international partnerships, and re-editions of iconic pieces—further cementing its role as a key player in the world of contemporary design.

New Collaborations and Collections
Pierre Charpin: Riga-Riga Collection
French designer and artist Pierre Charpin presents the Riga-Riga collection, featuring a sculptural table and sideboard. Characterised by an artisanal inlay pattern of ash wood and polished coloured glass, the pieces explore the expressive possibilities of materials in shaping rhythm, colour, and three-dimensional visual impact—positioning the collection firmly within the artistic realm.
Vincent Van Duysen: Fedrigo Sofa
Belgian designer Vincent Van Duysen signs Fedrigo, a modular sofa system designed for optimal comfort and well-being. With generous proportions, a plywood and expanded polyurethane structure featuring CIRCULARREFOAM® recycled polyols, and upholstery in recycled PET fixed with Velcro, Fedrigo is a sustainable, fully disassemblable sofa engineered for end-of-life recycling.

Muller Van Severen: Z24 Collection
Following the successful collaboration with Muller
Van Severen, the Z24 Books freestanding bookcase is now joined by a new series of chests of drawers. The bookcase, available in two heights, features glossy lacquered metal sides with a distinctive zig-zag pattern and fixed shelves in natural oak, offering a striking contrast of materials and a rhythmic, geometric design. The 2025 additions reinterpret the zig-zag motif horizontally through drawer units in varying sizes, colours, and angles—reinforcing the cohesive identity of the Z24 collection while preserving the uniqueness of each piece.
Christian Woo: Zymmo Collection
Canadian artist Christian Woo makes his debut in the living world with Zymmo, a collection of side tables and poufs. These bold, essential pieces are rooted in the archetypal honesty of form. Devoid of visual or contextual noise, the collection conveys a sense of timeless beauty.
Francesca Lanzavecchia: Yori-Kiri Lounge Chair
Designer Francesca Lanzavecchia introduces Yori-Kiri, a sculptural lounge chair with a matching pouf. Its discreet swivel mechanism is integrated within a sleek metal base, allowing for freedom of movement without compromising elegance. Sculpted forms and tailored details express a dialogue between craftsmanship and innovation, enhancing the iconic character of the piece.
Calvi Brambilla: Nellee Chair and Ettaro Carpet
Zanotta’s Art Directors, Calvi Brambilla, present Nellee, a chair defined by its essential shapes and upholstered in fabric or leather—designed to complement even the most elaborate tables. The new Ettaro carpet, hand-knotted in wool and cotton, features a dual-height structure that creates visual depth and a rhythmic interplay of geometric graphics reminiscent of a ploughed field.
Zaven: Low Bol Side Tables and V-Bol VasesThe Venetian design duo Zaven introduces Low Bol, a set of side tables inspired by the iconic legs of the Bol table. Available in two heights, their concave shape allows for versatile arrangements. The V-Bol vases reinterpret the Bol table’s leg silhouette into four distinct forms, each presented in a unique colour—offering vibrant modularity within the Zanotta catalogue.

Re-editions of Design Icons
Marcuso Table by Marco ZanusoOriginally designed in 1969, the Marcuso table by Marco Zanuso is reintroduced. A pioneering example of engineering innovation, it was the first table to apply automotive techniques to bond stainless steel with crystal. The re-edition includes the original stainless steel and crystal version (also available in 120 cm and 150 cm round formats), reaffirming its place in design history.
Cuculia Collection by Alessandro Mendini
Zanotta expands Alessandro Mendini’s Cuculia collection with the introduction of a new bowl. This addition enriches the family of containers known for their unmistakable sculptural design.
Sacco Armchair
The Sacco armchair—created in 1968 by Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini, and Franco Teodoro—is presented in the new Tux fabric, available in a fresh palette of vibrant colours. A radical icon of Italian design, Sacco remains an informal, versatile, irreverent, and ergonomic seating solution. Its legacy continues to evolve through new materials and cultural collaborations.

With these new proposals, Zanotta reaffirms its commitment to advancing contemporary design while celebrating the timeless value of its historic icons—offering elegant and sustainable solutions for the modern home.

Zanotta House New York

A place of meeting and relationship

New York, Lower West Side Manhattan: 23 Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village is 5-storey brick building declared “landmark” by the Municipality of New York City. Now it is Zanotta House New York, a place of meeting and relationship that feeds on stories, cultural backgrounds, skills and passion.

Zanotta House in New York City

The set-up is curated by Tihany Design and allows you to share the experience of use and grasp the meaning of products designed for home and community in a strongly characteristic environment. In this space partners, customers, architects and designers will be able to appreciate the new ways of representing places, projects and people according to the habits and spirit of Zanotta and Tecno and the distinctive values of the brands in the context of meetings and in the development of projects, also on the occasion of a dinner, a business breakfast, a presentation, up to hospitality for the night. Zanotta inaugurates this extraordinary location in the heart of Manhattan: not a showroom or a boutique apartment, but a connector of experiences where the product is directly lived, strengthening the link between the company and its network affirming the quality and the recognition of the Italian brand. An innovative form of representing the brand, which expresses a new business and hospitality model, reflects the evolution of behaviours, translates the ongoing transformations and anticipates the future trends. Inclusiveness and flexibility, empathy and authenticity are found in the environments of the large house, with furnishing solutions imagined around the person and his needs, to ensure the maximum availability to a joint development of projects in the working field as well as in hospitality. The collections are transversal and offer the possibility of a customization thanks to a non-standardized proposal on global codes, which stimulates freedom of choice without imposing a style, bringing life, emotions and relationships back to the centre, according to the grammar of modernity.

Zanotta House New York is an unprecedented format consistent with what Zanotta has already experienced in Milan and Tecno in its Tclub spaces around the world. The two brands strengthen their presence on the American market with the desire to be further close to the needs of the community of designers, specifiers and retailers. Uniqueness, competence, reputation and credibility to consolidate and increase growth in the main international markets. A complete offer for home and hospitality, sectors in which Zanotta has always excelled, and for the creation of new workspaces or relationship, reference area for Tecno.

The NYC AwardxDesign given to the Zanotta Dan chair and Tucano writing desk

Zanotta Dan chair

We are proud to announce that two products from the Zanotta collection – the Dan chair for the “Contract seating” category and the Tucano desk for the “Residential desk” category – have won the NYCxDesign Award promoted by the Interior Design Magazine.
For the second year in a row, on May 18th the award ceremony of the NYCxAwards 2021 was broadcast in front of a virtual audience on Sandow’s Design TV as well as Interior Design Magazines Facebook Live, with a selection of the best projects and products that stand out in the main categories and themes of design. This year 553 nominations were selected by Cindy Allen (editor-in-chief) and her jury.
We are very honoured to be awarded for the “Contract seating” category, where the Dan chair (design Patrick Jouin, 2020) took the top prize. Defined by a playfully minimalist frame of tubular bent steel – available in grey and matte black finishes – Dan was conceived for custom outfitting with colourful elastic belts, stretched directly across its lithe structure. Its polyester belts – offered in yellow, string, anthracite and blue, serve as something of an open canvas, welcoming personalization by the end-user in the form of custom-printed graphics and text. The result becomes an opportunity for virtually endless personal expression: a branding tool for companies, or a chance for individuals to articulate a more personal message. Epitomizing design’s individualistic nature, Dan stands out in its category as a singular medium for communication.
In the “Residential Desk” category the Tucano desk was pronounced the winner. This project represents a sophisticated, pragmatically sized work-from-home solution, equally well-suited to contract and hospitality settings. Its deceptively simple frame, tubular, matte black finished steel provides support for a trim but supple surface crafted of natural cowhide which overlays the structure. Visible rivets become a playful decorative element, connecting cowhide flaps across the desktop frame. Over time, with wear and weathering, the cowhide will take on a warm patina, rendering Tucano – like so many of Zanotta’s enduring icons – an inevitable heirloom in the making
