Rider, the new tilting lounge chair by Zanotta

-

 

Rider is the name of the new lounge chair designed by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba for Zanotta, the synthesis of a type of chair usually made of several components and here expressed as a single unit with a rocker motion.

Balanced between handicrafts and technological sophistication, it has a rigid polyurethane shaped core padded with polyurethane of variable thickness, upholstered completely by hand in natural leather, stitched and formed onto the seat.

The resulting saddle shape is made softer and more welcoming by the quilted cushion with a narrow lozenge pattern secured to the frame with its removable fabric cover, while a cylindrical headrest cushion is available as an accessory, also with a fabric cover.

In conclusion, Rider is an elegant, expansive furnishing accessory which not only outlines a personal space, but also creates a protected area in which the user can luxuriate in comfort.

The designers explain:

“We have designed a ‘rocking lounge chair’ that creates a special connection with its user, who is able to find his own position and start rocking by simply moving his foot. An iconic, funny and dynamic object providing a great sense of freedom”.
