The Sacco Chair

Celebrating the Compasso d’Oro Award 2020 to the Sacco Chair, design by Gatti, Paolini and Teodoro, produced by Zanotta, 1968.

«The Sacco chair is the most radical among the explorations of the upholstered seating as a design topos. Sacco is a single free cushion which takes the shape of the body: of any body.
If one thinks of Sacco today and the date of its first manufacturing, it seems the manifesto of an epochal change, of the possibility of being free in society, outside given schemes, outside established rules, to find one’s own position.»
