ZANOTTA AT PARIS DESIGN WEEK 2026

Paris, September 2026 — For Paris Design Week, running from 10 to 19 September 2026, Zanotta opens the doors of its flagship store in the heart of the lively Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, on Boulevard Saint-Germain.

The exhibition route is defined by a geometric check motif, a tribute to the iconic Quaderna collection, guiding visitors from the street-facing window through the store's two levels.

The exhibition marks a significant moment for Zanotta with the presentation of works by the celebrated Turin-born architect Carlo Mollino, following the acquisition through a public tender, of the exclusive licence granted by the Italian State to produce thirty of his works. The project reinforces the company's role as custodian and interpreter of one of Italian design's most extraordinary legacies.

After debuting at Milan Design Week, the Vertebra table, emblematic of Carlo Mollino's creativity, arrives in Paris as the centrepiece of the display. With this project, Zanotta pays tribute to the formal research of the great Turin master, expanding its collection with a piece that combines structural experimentation, artisanal refinement and production innovation, faithfully rendering Mollino's original vision through careful industrial production. Alongside Vertebra, several of his pieces already in the collection will also be on show, including the Fenis CM chair, the Gilda CM armchair and the Milo CM mirror, now also available in a new XL version.

The new pieces on display come in the form of both new products and the evolution of some of the brand's most iconic collections. Among these, the modular system of the Fedrigo sofa, designed by Vincent Van Duysen, expands with the introduction of curved modules and asymmetric end units, designed to multiply compositional possibilities and further enhance comfort. The Belgian designer also extends his collaboration with Zanotta with Campa, a new table and chair that together form a complete dining system, characterised by an essential design language and the pairing of solid wood with fabric or leather upholstery, and, in the case of the table, also hide leather.

Among Zanotta's bestsellers, the renewed Pianoalto+ sofa by Palomba Serafini Associati also evolves, with the introduction of new curved elements and sinuous forms that expand the range of possible configurations, establishing an even more dynamic dialogue with the surrounding space.

Rounding off the presentation are the new Rondevù and Rondevù Vis-à-Vis armchairs, designed by Monica Armani for residential, hospitality and workplace settings, alongside the Alfarè side table collection, also by the designer. The collaboration with Brogliato Traverso brings Binata, a chair with essential geometric forms inspired by the theme of paired columns. Studiopepe, meanwhile, presents Slice Me Nice, its first collaboration with Zanotta: a collection of side tables that reinterprets the dialogue between metal surfaces and chromatic accents in a contemporary key.

The Low Bol family, designed by Zaven, is enriched with a new, lower version with a larger diameter, conceived both as a standalone piece and in composition with the collection's other side tables. Finally, Battito, the rug by Pierre Charpin, draws inspiration from the practice of drawing, characterised by a rhythm of lines that retains the lightness of a pencil stroke on paper.
