This amazing collectors piece of Post-Modern design is an original 1980s production of the 'Zabro' chair (which easily transforms into a table) designed in 1984 by Alessandro Mendini for Zanotta.

We sent photos to Zanotta in Italy and they confirmed that this is an 'original production' example, which was produced between 1984 and 1987. We can provide the buyer of this chair with a copy of the email correspondence. Signed with Alessandro Mendini's signature on one leg and a Zanotta Made in Italy label underneath the chair seat.

Post-Modern design is extremely sought after by collectors, especially the good designs by quality makers like Zanotta. This very rare piece of functional art was not made in large quantities, making this example perfect for collectors and those who enjoy investing in art and design. Besides rarity - condition is often a factor for collectors. This is not a design that is easy to restore (refinish) due to the artwork on the seat and back. Fortunately, this example is in incredible condition, especially for its age. For any serious collector or connoisseur of fine art and design, this is an ideal specimen, so be sure to buy it now before someone else does.

Made with lacquered wood, the chair seat and back have polychrome hand-decoration in a Memphis style design with shades of pink, blue, white, grey and black and the chair's arms are wrapped in matching pink leather. The top folds down to convert the chair into a table. The condition on this example is very good with only very light minor signs of age and wear.

This Zabro chair slash table by Alesandro Mendini for Zanotta Edizioni would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as a side chair, dining, cafe or breakfast table chair, bedside chair, fireside chair, dressing or changing room chair, hallway chair, entryway or mudroom chair, nursing or reading chair, conference room chair, office or desk chair, guest chair, lobby chair, lounge chair or occasional chair ideal in virtually any setting.
