Pre-owned Zanotta furniture

HFOC is Australia's premier marketplace for pre-owned designer furniture, and we frequently list authentic second-hand Zanotta pieces. Browse chairs, desks, tables, sofas and accessories from the Italian house behind the Sacco bean bag and the Mezzadro stool. Each piece is priced well below buying new.

About Zanotta

Aurelio Zanotta founded the company in 1954, and its main plant is still in Nova Milanese, Italy. Its catalogue is a roll call of postwar Italian invention: the Mezzadro stool by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni (1957), the Blow inflatable armchair (1967), the Sacco bean bag chair by Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro (1968), the Gaetano table by Gae Aulenti (1973) and Alessandro Mendini's Cetonia chest of drawers (1984).

Zanotta products have won the Compasso d'Oro four times, in 1967, 1979, 1987 and 2020, and they hang in some very distinguished company. The Museum of Modern Art in New York holds Blow, Mezzadro and Tonietta, and the Victoria and Albert Museum holds Blow. Aurelio Zanotta died in 1991, and since 2002 the company has been run by his three children, Eleonora, Francesca and Martino. Tecno bought 80 per cent of the shares in 2017.

Why buy Zanotta second-hand? These are designs that museums collect, so a pre-owned piece is a sound way into a serious catalogue. Buying through HFOC gets you the original at a price well below retail. Delivery is available across all Australian metros.
