he "Campo" armchair, designed in 1984 by the iconic Italian trio Jonathan De Pas, Donato D'Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi for Zanotta, is a sophisticated example of 1980s Italian Postmodern furniture design.
While the trio is globally famous for their avant-garde 1960s pop creations like the inflatable Blow chair,
the Campo model represents their transition into the more structured, material-focused elegance of the 1980s.
Key Design & Material CharacteristicsThe Structure: It features a solid internal wooden frame providing robust stability.
The armchair stands out due to its dual-material philosophy.
It features a distinctive high backrest wrapped in thick, high-quality saddle leather (cuoio), juxtaposed with soft, padded seat cushions upholstered in comfortable textiles like cotton or fabric. The design leans toward a welcoming, ergonomic form with a deep seat. Its standard dimensions are approximately 75 cm in width, 87 cm in height, and 70 cm in depth, with a comfortable seat height of 40 cm.
Legacy and CollectibilityThe Campo armchair demonstrates how Zanotta, a pioneer in Italian industrial design, continued to push boundaries by blending industrial manufacturing with traditional luxury materials. Today, these 1980s originals are highly sought after vintage collector items on premium design marketplaces.
