Designed by Zaven for Zanotta, Za:Za Max represents the evolution of Za:Za, the sofa awarded the Compasso d’Oro 2024, inheriting its legacy while extending the design research towards new dimensions of comfort, modularity, and innovation.
The load-bearing structure is crafted in painted steel – available in talc, hemp, orange, amaranth, grass green, espresso, and black – and is complemented by rigid anthracite polyester straps that support the cushions, ensuring both durability and comfort.The upholstery of Za:Za Max, the result of careful material and performance research, provides a calibrated balance between support and softness thanks to its dual-density composition: polyurethane in the lower or rear section of the cushion, and recycled PET fibre in the upper or front section. Each upholstered element – seat, backrest, and armrests – is housed in separate pockets and assembled without adhesives, ensuring material separability and facilitating end-of-life recovery. Each element is attached to the frame via snap fasteners, while the fully removable fabric upholstery is offered in a wide colour range, enabling customisation and seamless integration into both domestic and contract interiors.
This year, during Milan Design Week, Zanotta presented in addition two new poufs (95×75×44 cm and 95×95×44 cm), complementing the existing double-seat pouf in the catalogue (150×75×44 cm). These additions enhance the system’s compositional possibilities while maintaining the sofa’s constructional and aesthetic characteristics.
Thanks to its deep seating and generous proportions, Za:Za Max invites relaxation and accommodates multiple configurations through the modularity of its elements. Its soft, enveloping forms define a contemporary language capable of integrating effortlessly into a variety of interior settings.
Za:Za Max establishes itself as a versatile and innovative seating system, combining advanced design research with compositional freedom in a recognisable, timeless aesthetic.
