….but she is 40!!  I am talking about the Sacco chair by Zanotta.
It was designed in 1968 by three architects: Gatti, Paolini and Teodoro, and it hasn’t gone out of fashion since. The cover can be leather, leather-like, heavy cloth or plastic, and it is filled with highly resistant polystyrene pellets. Over the years it has been produced in every possible colour! In 1972 it went on display at the MoMA and now a total of 26 museums have included Sacco in their permanent collection of contemporary or applied art.
We have a red one — it’s fun, friendly, comfy and children love to climb on it!

To celebrate such a democratic piece of design that everybody loves, Zanotta has organised an exhibition, “La Commedia del Sacco” with 40 limited edition chairs, each of them made with a special haute couture fabric. The exhibition was in Milan during the “Salone del Mobile”, from the 16th ’til 21st of April, and it will also be on in Paris, Tokyo and New York City.
