grandtour lounge chair

"If Maserati was an armchair, what would it be like?...We took up the perspective image of a Maserati in the lines, retracing the fluid structures of the silhouette of the bonnet to give the mark of continuity." -Ludovica + Roberto Palomba

An occasion to celebrate the history of two great Italian companies. Maserati and Zanotta are two brands, which started locally and became internationally recognized, remaining loyal to their original values and ability to create design that keeps with the times.

Grandtour, the new limited series armchair is an article that encapsulates the spirit and values the two brands have always expressed: sophistication, comfort, refinement of materials, shapes and details, avant-garde design and a very high level of craftsmanship. The two companies which, meeting for the first time, have created an object for the living room inspired by the lines and sportiness of the Maserati Quattroporte. The harmonious, dashing lines of this car were analyzed, broken down, reproduced and reinterpreted by the designers until the shape of an ergonomic and ground-breaking seat, celebrating the relaxation and comfort in a new dimension, was achieved.

The Grandtour Lounge chair features a chromium-plated or nickel-plated black steel base with stiff polyurethane frame. The cushions are polyurethane/Dacron Du Pont with fixed internal nylon cover. The removable external quilted cover is offered in leather 99 in your choice of three options. The processing of the leather cover is inspired by the old "capitonné" technique to achieve a soft and comfortable surface. The Zanotta Extra leather used is a full-grain leather that acquires beauty over time and gives a feeling of great naturalness to the touch.
