Yori-Kiri
Made by Zanotta
Designed by Francesca Lanzavecchia
Yori-Kiri di Zanotta è una bergère disegnata da Francesca Lanzavecchia, concepita come un invito a rallentare, rilassarsi e sentirsi pienamente abbracciati. Ispirata a una mossa di sumo giapponese che evoca forza, equilibrio e controllo, la poltrona abbina una generosa imbottitura a braccioli curvi che avvolgono lo schienale, creando una forma scultorea ma profondamente accogliente con un raffinato senso delle proporzioni.
Progettata per il comfort assoluto, Yori-Kiri presenta un meccanismo reclinabile integrato nascosto all'interno della seduta, che consente allo schienale di muoversi fluidamente o di bloccarsi in posizione senza interrompere la silhouette pulita della poltrona. Un pouf abbinato estende l'esperienza di relax, mentre il rivestimento in tessuto sfoderabile, la fibra di PET riciclato nel cuscino dello schienale e una base girevole laccata lucida in una ricca palette di colori uniscono artigianato, innovazione e l'approccio contemporaneo di Zanotta al design durevole.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the name Yori-Kiri refer to?
Yori-Kiri is a sumo technique in which a wrestler lifts and carries an opponent out of the ring using controlled forward pressure. Francesca Lanzavecchia drew on its qualities of balance, containment, and strength to inform the chair's enveloping form.
How does the reclining mechanism work on the Yori-Kiri?
The mechanism is fully concealed within the seat structure, allowing the backrest to recline smoothly or lock into a preferred position. Because it is integrated rather than exposed, the chair's silhouette remains uninterrupted from any angle.
Is the Yori-Kiri upholstery removable for cleaning?
Yes. The fabric cover is designed to be removable, which simplifies maintenance and also allows for re-upholstery if the owner wishes to update the chair's appearance over time.
What sustainability considerations are built into the Yori-Kiri?
The back cushion is filled with recycled PET fiber, reflecting Zanotta's ongoing effort to incorporate responsible material choices without compromising comfort or craft.
