Zanotta takes part in “Alchimia: The Revolution of Italian Design”, the first comprehensive retrospective dedicated to the Milanese collective founded by Alessandro and Adriana Guerriero in 1976, hosted at the ADI Design Museum in Milan.
After its debut at the Bröhan Museum in Berlin (April-September 2025), the exhibition returns to the city where Studio Alchimia was born, in a reimagined and expanded version featuring a new installation curated by Alessandro Guerriero himself.
The audience will be invited to step onto what Guerriero calls a “tappetozattera,” a symbolic platform that lifts them out of everyday reality and immerses them in the utopian and experimental spirit of Alchimia.
From 11 November 2025 to 22 January 2026, visitors will be able to explore over 150 works, including objects, furniture, and photographs, that trace the collective’s evolution and its lasting impact on contemporary design culture.
Within the exhibition, Zanotta is represented by Zabro (1984), the table-chair by Alessandro Mendini, part of the Zanotta Edizioni catalogue dedicated to the company’s most innovative projects. Hybrid and transformable, Zabro perfectly embodies Alchimia’s conceptual and creative spirit, highlighting Zanotta’s ongoing commitment to fostering a dialogue between design, art, and formal experimentation.
Zanotta’s participation in the exhibition underscores its dedication to preserving and celebrating the history of Italian design, while sharing with an international audience the visionary ideas that shaped an era and continue to inspire new generations of designers.
