PRODUCTION
Open-air
New materials and simple shapes to live outdoors
with the utmost comfort. Quality signed by Zanotta
On the terrace, between the living room and the garden, at the
pool sides. Free to enter the living room as well, thanks to the
basic design and the noble materials. The furniture and seats
proposed by Zanotta to decorate the outdoors spaces create conversation
corners and comfortable relax areas, both elegant and functional.
Among the brand new and weather-proof materials: carbon fibre of the
aerodynamic Fly, the decorated polyethylene with rotationmoulding
technique of Dora armchair, the aluminium painted with a special antioxidizing
lacquer and the techno fabric of Zilli chair, the aluminium matching
the polypropylene sling, reinforced with glass fibre for the Isa chair.
In addition to these we find the scratch-resistant finish of Brasilia lounge
chair, made of structural hard polyurethane. Among the best materials for
outdoors we mention: oil-treated teak for the demountable and folding
Extra table; the 18/8 stainless steel for the Sun small bed and the painted
for outdoors steel for the Grillo table base. In the end an ironic revival
from the Sixties: the spider-shaped legs of Allunaggio, the seat signed by
Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1965 that is still in production.

Possible Projects
THE MEETING
Enzo Mari. One of Zanotta’s most
famous collaborators relates his idea
of design starting from a seat
In 1980 Aurelio Zanotta paid Enzo
Mari a visit with a 6th degree
rock climber’s nail, the type that
makes the most of crevices in the rock
wall to sustain the climber’s body.
This was the beginning of project
Tonietta, Zanotta’s seat, which won
the Compasso d’Oro award in 1987.
Its designer, architect Enzo Mari,
speaks about it.
Q. What lies at the basis of your
projects?
A. Let me give you an example. During
the same years, Cesare Cassina too
was reasoning on the idea of the rock
climber’s nail (he was a mountain
enthusiast). He thought of having
them produced in forged aluminium,
which is highly compressed and very
strong. Instead, starting from
Aurelio’s idea I thought of making the
chair’s legs in die-cast aluminium with
differentiated thicknesses and thinner,
slightly curved front legs. It took me
five years to reach the right thickness
and the final design. The assistance of
Penati (Head of Zanotta’s Technical
Department at the time) with whom I
defined every detail to make Tonietta
work perfectly was essential. I cannot
stand projects that are conceived the
same morning as I cannot tolerate
those who come along asking for an
idea for the next day… You need
thought, research and work to reach a
design and create a product. The only
possible reasons to design an item
issue from the intention to clearly
communicate a shape and the chair is
the simplest shape one can start
from: it has four legs, a seat and a
back. Tonietta’s pure arch and strong
thin legs. The assembly system recalls
that of the historical Thonet.
The effort focuses on gaining the
utmost resistance with the minimum
use of material.
Q. After Tonietta, you designed many
other furniture items and accessories
for Zanotta - all characterised by
remarkable formal purity, functionality
and an advanced technological layout.
Which do you recall with most
satisfaction?
A. I recall them all. The coffee table
Ambo with crystal tops - in practise it
comprises two coffee tables, one low
and one high, designed to be fitted
as the user pleases. The table
Dongiovanni, whose legs joined at the
top with a special star-shaped joint
designed by me. And then the seat
Marina, the clothes hanger Museo,
the table Fonte and the upholstered
items Daniele. I do not like creating
products for the market. I like to think
of formal beauty and how to
concretise it by rationalising the
production process.
Q. Which customer target do you
have in mind when you create a piece
of furniture?
A. On the forty million potential
purchasers of furnishing items in Italy,
I think very few can draw close to
design today. And it is not merely a
matter of IQ… The first approach
should be financial and, economy
leads to basics. I find classical Greek
culture’s manner of proceeding ideal.
Rather than needs, I want to focus on
defending the right to think.

LIFESTYLE
Happenings
no.3/06 p.5
The decision to build new settlements - often
around a considerably old nucleus (the village
we wish to discuss dates back to 1500) - in
landscapes that are not unlike the Italian hill
and lake country is rather frequent. The solution for such
settlements could be terraced houses enhanced by a
radical novelty: sustainable energy. We are in the town
Affoltern am Albis, Switzerland, between Zug and Zurich
on A road 9. It counts 10,000 inhabitants and the mayor is
a woman. On land located a few hundred meters from the
cantonal road, uneven land at the foot of the hills, which
separate Affoltern from lake Zurich, stands a complex of
terraced houses, which even at a distance make us
perceive that something different has been conceived. The
houses are not too far apart - which reveals focus on good
neighbourly relations -, volumes are simple, the use of
unprocessed wood is evident, balconies are spacious and
there are solar panels. Ten terraced complexes numbering
four homes each have a 10,000 sq.mt. total living surface
area. Though the urban layout is thick, interiors are
spacious: all homes are designed on 6 metre modules
with the same layout but variable surface area and number
of floors. All have three floors: some with a basement and
others with three floors above ground level. But the most
relevant features do not catch the eye instantly. Each
house is modulated on both an active and passive use of
solar energy: main entrances and bathrooms are located
in such a way as to liven up internal spaces to create
varying tracks for sunlight. The kitchen and entrance are
separated by a glass wall designed to increase the effect of
transparency, full-length glass windows in bathrooms
overlook the landscape and balconies on every floor
expand space and shield the sitting-room and bedrooms
from direct sunlight. Every home is arranged for the
installation of solar panels to heat hot water. Heating
instead is based on a heat pump, which makes use of the
thermal contribution of underground waters by means of
10 cm pipes that extend for a length of 180 metres. This
heating method removes the use of all types of fuel.
Global consumption complies with the best indexes
established by the recent European law concerning
buildings’ energy certification: 51 kWh/sq.mt./year. It is
one of the best high end products. Houses in Looren
stand on concrete foundations, but the rest of the
structure is in wood. The colour of deal is touching and
warm - local red spruce and Douglas spruce! They are left
natural with neither finishes nor preservative treatment.
The flat roof is covered by a ca. 10 cm vegetable layer: in
case of strong rain the layer holds part of the rain water,
slowly releasing it into a stream which runs through the
settlement. There is greenery everywhere with birds and
small woodland mammals. The municipal swimming-pool
is not very distant and it is free of charge; the football
team is not listed in the stock exchange and winter snow
invites to do cross-country skiing. In good weather one
goes running with an ipod in the pocket.

The
zero-energy
future
The housing complex based on
terraced houses in Looren, Affoltern
am Albis, Switzerland, is an
exemplary case of sustainable low
consumption architecture. Project
Metron’s research has focused on
optimising energy, ecological
features and high living standards

FROM DESIGN TO PRODUCT
Sober flowing lines distinguish
Christophe Pillet’s new Yuki
CHRISTOPHE PILLET
He attended the Institute of
Decorative arts, Nice, and
graduated in industrial design at
the Domus Academy of Milan.
He worked with Philippe Stark in
Paris till ’93. In ’94 he was
acclaimed the French Createur
de l’année, hence many
exhibitions were dedicated to
him both at the Centre
Pompidou and at the Villette.
Today luxury is removal of the
superfluous.» Christophe Pillet, the
famous French designer, adopts
this paradigm to sum up his vision
of the project. His idea of available “luxury”
(considered as a combination of top quality
furniture and items) is based on the use both
of new technologies and materials, which can
best apply to them. «I do not wish to sound
like an elitist minimalist - he adds - but I mean
to convey the need to produce elements that
are both simple and refined for timeless
contemporary homes.» Yuki, his armchair for
Praise to
simplicity
Zanotta, is an example of this concept - a firm
rotating varnished steel base with four legs
converging onto a single central joint and a
flowing hollow stiff polyurethane unitised
body, which holds padded cushions
upholstered with removable fabric or leather.
«I designed Yuki with CAD following a line
that is dear to me: a cosy rounded seat fitted
to a central pin. Zanotta’s staff instantly liked
the model and I refined the details with them
by e-mail. It was all very easy and we soon
created the prototype, which was virtually
perfect. Every step was checked with the
technical team and perfected without hitches
as, for instance, the choice of the right density
for the polyurethane sheet, which had to be
both solid and flexible: Zanotta succeeded in
realising this wish of mine. Yuki’s first version
had a more “playful” design that was almost
pop; its evolution was more classical and the
last leather upholstered version achieved a
highly refined result». The “elective” affinity
between Pillet and Zanotta was the starting
point to achieve quality production in optimal
times. «I always decide to work with firms I
have an instant understanding with. This
occurred with Zanotta and with the firms
producing accessories and complements for
cars that preceded it. Yuki was the result of a
study track I began with my previous chair -
Y’s - to which I applied modern car seat
technology for the first time (I have worked for
years for Renault). I like to investigate
different worlds to convey and merge technical
findings. I have designed taps starting from
hifi and microwave oven ignition systems,
which exploit the technology used for thermal
glass casseroles». Pillet’s study involves
experts for every detail, ranging from the
unitised body of seats to fabric seams, from
electronic systems to ergonomic ones and
from ophthalmology to computer science. It is
the so-called “Starck system”, which the
French designer learnt when he worked with
his colleague and which he refined in the USA
and in Japan. «My next dream? To create a
design, which offers people an alternative
lifestyle in terms of wellness and happiness».

Space Furniture, leader in the Australian
market, expresses a different voice
Aconversation with
Kevin Jarrett,
founder and
chairman of Space
Furniture showrooms,
between Sydney, Brisbane,
Singapore and London. The
one located in Sydney is the
most important design store
of the continent.
Q. How is going the
Australian furniture market
and how they appreciate
Italian design in your country?
A. In the last 5 years we have
seen growth of over 25% per
year. Design furniture has had
more exposure in the last 5
years and companies like
Space have done more to
promote design with the
invitations of many Italian
guests to Australia further
helping to promote the
market. This has also been
helped by architects designing
interiors for high end real
estate, houses and
apartments.
Q. Speaking about life style in
Australia, do you think there
will be an increasing attention
on design? And, what kind of
design? Modern or more
classic?
A. Lifestyle in Australia
revolves around the
contemporary, our climate is
mainly warm and promotes
outside living which has an
emphasis on modern interiors
rather than classic traditional
interiors.
Q. Do they know well Italian
“griffes” in design and fashion
in your cities? Or do they give
more importance to furniture
and materials quality?
A. We have seen an increase of
awareness in Italian lifestyle
products. Italian design of
fashion, furniture, interior
products is much more of a
way of life and people are
starting to appreciate the
value in good design. Where
we see, not so much of an
increase for e.g. is in the UK
where Italian furniture design
is quite low compared to the
population. Australians are
becoming more sophisticated
KEVIN JARRETT
1993 opens the first Space
Furniture in Sydney, that acts as
spring board for the best
interior design companies in
Australia and Asian South-East.
2001 three new showrooms
were open: in London, Brisbane
and Singapore. 2003 he
establishes the magazine More
Space, a prestigious stage for
the contemporary life-styles.
with Made in Italy products at
a higher level.
Q. You have a very interesting
magazine, More Space, what
are its target and aims?
A. My philosophy behind More
Space is to “create a
difference” - an edgy
communication which is more
about the design process than
the product. Any publisher can
produce another architectural
digest, Casa Vogue etc. We
don’t want to do that as More
Space is a philosophy on
communicating good design
in a different way. I would like
The interiors of the first showroom
opened by Jarrett in Sydney: 4000
square meters on six spectacular floors.

to think that it has a difference
and people want something
different.
Q. What would you like
Italian designers and furniture
industries would do to
project and produce things
answering to new
requirements and needs for
Australian way of living?
A. To understand the
Australian way of living we
need to give them a brief, but
what is the difference? We are
like all hot climate countries
that live on the coast. We are
mainly casually people, not
sophisticated like central
European people. We have to
appeal to clients that walk into
our showroom in D&G jeans,
sleeveless T-shorts wearing
thongs on the weekend. My
point is, that many of our
customers live in “Billabong”
clothes and live in very
expensive houses. They want
sophisticated products but in
a relaxed way - this relaxed way
should also be considered
with very different fabrics as
well, but more importantly
products that have longevity
and are unique in design. Our
philosophy is “Furniture for
Expressive personalities and
lifestyles”. We are talking more
and more to Italian
designers as our market in
Australia and Asia grows.
Q. How do you feel working
with Italian designers and
architects, such as those who
contributed in your Space’s
adventures? What do you
think is the principal
difference between their
“touch” and the one of other
similar professional figures
in the world?
A. The most admirable
features of the Italian
architects and designers’ work
(like Citterio and Lissoni, for
instance, who have curated
the project of our stores) is
their understanding of the
furniture industry. At this level
of design/architecture, you
must have a great business
brain and actually help the
businesses, not only by the
collections they design, but
also the contribution to
develop the business with
their collection. For example,
they could take their collection
into a hotel project or serviced
apartments and they
understand the way that the
upholstery moulds are
produced and they understand
the research and development
process. They don’t just give a
sketch, they give drawings to
develop the proper prototype
and develop the market. Most
of them are very affluent Art
Directors of major companies.
They understand the image
clearly and where the brand is
driven from. They don’t only
just design a piece of
industrial product.
BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE
More Space as conceived by
Kevin Jarrett is a space to think
about design and to communicate
its evolution processes. It is also
a special shop-window/story
where ideas, images, witnesses
of his favourite artists and
designers are welcome:
Ron Arad, Philippe Starck, Piero
Lissoni, Antonio Citterio (who
has taken care of setting up
the Space Furniture shops
together with John Pawson).

Lighting in a solid state will be the
next “disruptive technology”.
New alchemists for new lighting.
Happenings

New LED Technology: a challenge!
In 1992 the Japanese Shuji Nakamura perfected the
industrial production process of a minute
electronic component (with just a few millimetres’
surface) that issued weak blue light rays. It was the
work of ten years, which cost three million dollars. Thus
began, in a remote Japanese region famous for its spas
and start up companies of solid state electronics, a
production technology for light that was recently
classified by the US Department for Development as
“disruptive technology”, a devastating technology that
will alter a sector of human activities at the very root. Few
recall how things were before the advent of “containers”
in the crucial transport sector. Something similar will
occur in lighting too. Technologies for the creation of
light in the solid state will provide the post-modern
domestic and urban scene with light - even infrared light -
with negligible dissipation of energy and heat and
remarkable resistance to shock, vibrations, wear and tear.
These “bulbs”, which function at a low voltage - often
below 24 volts - could radically redefine the electrical
safety of homes. The risk of electrocution caused by the
use of alternate 220V current would also be less.
LIGHT LIKE GOLD
The L.E.D. - acronym for Light-Emitting Diode - is a
“diode that issues light”. If ancient alchemists sought the
way to knowledge amidst metals and if they anxiously
sought the way to transmute a humble metal into a more
noble one (gold seemed the best choice to many),
modern technologists have found present day gold once
again amidst metal: light, the real wealth of our age and
the real essence of modernity. Today the value of a little
block - just a few cubic centimetres large - of purified
silica makes hundreds of chests full of gold coins grow
pale. Produced in establishments based on “clean
rooms”, environments in which air is constantly purified,
LEDs are produced by processing small silica bars that
have been treated in various manners. The result is a
minute device made by combining a precious metal and
a “non metal”. Controllable light radiation issues from
their link up region when a weak current flows through it.
THE CHANGES INSIDE
There are two immediate consequences for both project
planners and designers: extreme flexibility and
manoeuvrability, a wide selection of shapes and control
of both the flow and the colour of light. The firm instead
enjoys significant energy saving and greater safety
features. The advantages of LED-based lighting for living
and public environments in the first instance number
miniaturised light sources (clearly visible, they challenge
projects and product designers) and the subsequent
choice of multiple lighting for spectacular effects;
secondly they involve long duration, reliability, saturated
colour and the option to play with dynamic chromatisms.
Combined with easy to programme control circuits,
which are less bulky than a remote control, LEDs open
the doors to new opportunities both for designers and
buyers: the option of changing a light source’s quality,
intensity and colour at a later date. Written with the
collaboration of Flavio Vida.
The new bulb leds by Philips match the various lamp types.

DEDICATED TO
Max
Bill
Students on Max
Bill’s “Stools” in
classrooms at the
School in Ulm
(1951).
Few architects have expressed the
1900s as Max Bill did: he thought,
spoke, wrote, designed and
organised. Painter, sculptor,
graphic designer, architect and
philosopher, Bill was a member of
international study and design
groups. He studied with
Kandinsky and Klee and moved
with Le Corbusier, Duchamp,
Eames, Mies Van Der Rohe and
Rogers. Co-founder of the
Superior Institute of Design in
Ulm, in 1950 he created the Stool
for the famous school - a wooden
seat with a basic geometrical
shape, whose design was virtually
erased to the advantage of its
function. It is to date produced by
Zanotta (sponsor of the important
exhibition on Max Bill’s work held
in the Palazzo Reale, Milan, till
25th June). Aurelio Zanotta gave
the item its ironical name when
he began its production.

HAPPY VISIONS!
With “Pyramid in the
Pacific - Architectural and
Geopolitical Ideas for the
Ruins of Ryugyong Hotel
in Pyongyang, North
Korea”, Domus magazine
introduced at the Milan
Triennale the outcome of
idea consultations
launched in June 2005
concerning the reuse of
this incomplete 330 m
high concrete building.
120 projects and ideas
from throughout the
world suggest realistic,
eccentric, brilliant and
often provocative
solutions to transform a
symbol of the titanic
power of despots into a
new aerial for global
communications. Along
with these projects,
Domus has just
proposed original images
of Pyongyang projected
in a hall furnished with
armchairs Sacco
provided by Zanotta for
the occasion.
ZANOTTA AND XELION
The 5th Xelion Financial
Village, travelling kermis
of Zanotta furnishings
displayed in the halls of
exclusive sites at meetings
held in 2006, has set off
from the Pistoletto
Foundation in Biella.
The new set of theme
appointments on
economic markets’ current
scenes will focus especially
on Xelion Advice, an
innovative investment
service. The meetings -
open to the public and
organised by UniCredit
Xelion Banca - will touch
eight laps in enchanting
spots numbering Palazzo
Corsini in Florence, the
prestigious Ville Ponti
Congress Centre in Varese,
Villa Pignatelli in Naples,
the Rancia castle in
Tolentino, Santo Spirito in
Saxia in Rome and the
historical Hunting Lodge
in Stupinigi. Last lap,
Messina with its sea, and
Sicilian gothic architecture.
HISTORICAL SEATS
AT THE MAK
On 13th June an original
review of “suspended”
historical seats -
“Cantilever Chairs” - will
open at the Museum of
Applied Arts and
Contemporary Art in
Vienna. 80 years of seating
inventions based on the
simple cantilever principle
will be displayed, starting
from the first tubular steel
prototype presented by the
famous Mart Stam in the
’20s and numbering
Marcel Breuer, Mies Van
der Rohe and
contemporary Tom Dixon
and Ross Lovegrove.
Zanotta - the sponsor - will
participate in the exhibition
with the seat Mezzadro
designed by the Castiglioni
brothers (design 1957):
this unusual stool adds a
touch of irony, the superb
intuition of ergonomics
and a still surprising
flexibility to the original
idea of suspended seat.
DESIGN AND
TECHNOLOGY
Which technological
innovations lead to present
day furnishing products?
How far do new materials
influence contemporary
décor? On these questions
investigates the VIA /
Industries Francaises de
l’Ameublement with the
exhibition set up in Paris:
“Surfaces and Materials for
Decorating and
Personalizing”. As the
curator Gerard Laize
anticipates: «the birth of
new materials, technologies
and processes are opening
inconceivable creative
fields». Zanotta
participates in the event
with two armchairs, which
are the outcome of
considerable research: the
new Dora with floral
decorations - by L. and R.
Palomba - and the
historical Sacco covered
with Missoni Home’s Scilla
fabric. Open till 25th June.
ANNIVERSARIES
Contemporary design has
a privileged seat in Nimes,
the French city that is
famous for its wines and
magnificent Roman
amphitheatre: it is
Domus, one of the
region’s most exclusive
showrooms, celebrating
30 years of business with
a historical retrospective
on furnishings from 1976
to 2006. «The mobilier
d’architecte finds one of
its most representative
productions in Zanotta»,
says Alain Recolin, patron
of Domus and enthusiast
promoter of meetings and
events on the value and
meaning of design. «This
is my entire world. How
can we fail to acknowledge
design’s primary role of
expression and cultural
and social transference?».
No. 11, Rue de l’Horloge,
Nimes - 29 June - 31
December. Cocktail on the
29th from 6:00 pm.
FREUD ON SHOW
To celebrate 150 years from
the birth of Prof. Freud,
Prague and Vienna have
organised two special
exhibitions. In the famous
psychoanalyst’s native city,
the Sigmund Freud Museum
has organised the exhibition
“The Couch: Thinking in
Repose” till 5th November.
Zanotta is one of the event’s
sponsors with the sofa Freud
designed by Todd Bracher
(2002). It is a homage to the
famous sofa, now treasured
at the Freud Museum,
London, and which seated
the great Austrian
neurologist’s patients for
numberless years. Happy
Birthday, Dr. Freud!
