Designed by Marco Zanuso

Maggiolina began as a study in simplicity—an armchair stripped to its essentials—before evolving into a refined expression of comfort and industrial design. Its steel tubular frame supports a leather sling, cradling goose feather and polyurethane cushions. Designed in 1947, Maggiolina remains a timeless icon that merges poetic form with ergonomic comfort.

The Designer’s Vision

In 1947, Marco Zanuso reimagined the lounge chair for a MoMA competition, pioneering a construction method intended for mass production. His collaboration with Zanotta transformed this bold experiment into a lasting icon, proving that innovation and Italian craftsmanship could coexist in perfect harmony.

Timeless Construction

Maggiolina’s genius lies in its materials: a saddle leather sling and armrests that cradle a goose down cushion with effortless elegance. Nearly eight decades later, this union of structure and softness remains a benchmark of design — a chair that continues to embody luxury, comfort, and timeless endurance.
