Design, Comfort, and Quality: The Signature of Zanotta Upholstery

At the heart of Zanotta’s production, upholstered furniture represents the purest expression of the company’s philosophy: combining design, comfort and craftsmanship with a vision capable of standing the test of time. Thanks to its consolidated manufacturing expertise and rigorous design approach, Zanotta has transformed the sofa into an object where aesthetics, ergonomics and durability coexist harmoniously, establishing itself as a benchmark of Made in Italy excellence in the world of design.

Among the innovations that tangibly express the company's forward-thinking vision, the introduction of removable covers for upholstered furniture stands out as a first in the furniture industry. A pioneering choice that has changed the way we think about comfort and home maintenance: the possibility of removing and replacing the cover, which can be washed depending on the type of fabric, not only allows you to renew the look of your furniture, but also to take care of it more easily and consciously over time, extending its life cycle and original beauty.

In the process of continuous evolution, Zanotta offers a collection of upholstered furniture that combine formal balance, function and construction quality. Za:Za Max, designed by Zaven, is a perfect harmony of proportion and comfort. As the natural evolution of the Compasso d’Oro-winning Za:Za, it combines a powder-coated steel frame with generous cushions made from advanced new-generation fillings. Each element is fully removable and assembled without glues, ensuring lightness, durability and ease of care. The matching poufs enrich the system with additional compositional freedom and a sense of versatile comfort suitable for any interiors.
Another star of the collection is William, designed by Damian Williamson in 2010. Iconic and recognisable, William has become one of Zanotta’s most beloved sofas thanks to its balance between elegant form and everyday comfort. The slender metal base, visual lightness and perfectly calibrated proportions define an essential yet timeless aesthetic.
Alongside the original model, Zanotta also offers William+, a deeper and more enveloping version that introduces refined technical improvements for a greater comfort, while maintaining the character and spirit of the original design. Completely removable and available in fabric or leather, William+ maintains the same elegance and enduring appeal that has thrilled generations of design enthusiasts.
Completing this journey, Fedrigo, designed by Vincent Van Duysen, embodies a new idea of comfort expressed through soft, continuous lines and refined proportions. The backrest and armrests merge into a single, embracing gesture that defines its fluid silhouette. The modular structure allows customized configurations, while the use of high-quality materials reflects Zanotta’s constant attention to durability and attention to details. Fedrigo embodies a design that doesn’t follow trends but builds a balanced aesthetics that would last over time. 
The theme of comfort finds natural continuity in Zanotta armchairs, where design becomes a dialogue between structure and softness. The Yori-Kiri bergère by Francesca Lanzavecchia blends strength and grace, offering geometric rigor and dynamic comfort thanks to a synchronized reclining mechanism in the backrest.
The Nena Lounge, by Lanzavecchia + Wai, interprets contemporary lightness with a metal frame and generous, soft volumes.
Finally, the Maggiolina by Marco Zanuso—a timeless icon since 1947—remains the ultimate expression of constructive intelligence and timeless elegance, a symbol of design that remains relevant generation after generation.
With sofas and armchairs that stand out for their character, comfort and quality in craftsmanship, Zanotta reaffirms its role as a reference point in international design. A brand capable of evolving while staying true to the values that built its legacy: balance, research and the ability to turn every upholstered piece into an authentic experience of beauty and wellbeing.
