Elipse Chair

$606

Made by Zanotta

The Elipse Chair is a study in productive tension. Patrick Norguet's design for Zanotta holds two impulses in careful balance: the rationality of an industrial process and the quiet authority of sculptural form.

A square-section aluminum structure gives the chair its architectural composure, while the rounded seat and backrest ease that geometry into something genuinely inviting. The comfort surfaces are formed from a polypropylene-based technopolymer with recycled content, a material choice that reflects both environmental awareness and the designer's commitment to considered craft.

  • Square-section aluminum frame for structural precision and practical lightness
  • Rounded seat and backrest in polypropylene-based technopolymer with recycled content
  • Circular opening in the backrest for easy handling and visual relief
  • Suited to residential and professional contract environments

The circular opening cut into the backrest reads simultaneously as a functional grip and a deliberate compositional gesture, revealing the assembly's precision while giving the profile an identity that holds its own across contexts, from the dining room to a professional setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Zanotta Elipse Chair?

The Elipse Chair was designed by Patrick Norguet, a Paris-based industrial designer known for his rigorous approach to form and materiality. His studio has developed work for leading European manufacturers across furniture, lighting, and product design.

What materials is the Elipse Chair made from?

The Elipse Chair features a square-section aluminum frame paired with a seat and backrest formed from a polypropylene-based technopolymer that incorporates recycled content. The combination prioritizes both durability and a reduced environmental footprint.

Is the Elipse Chair suitable for contract or commercial use?

Yes. Its aluminum structure and technopolymer surfaces are engineered to perform in professional environments, and its architectural profile translates naturally from hospitality and workplace settings into the home.

What is the purpose of the circular opening in the backrest?

The circular cutout serves a dual role: it functions as a practical handling point and acts as a defining compositional detail that gives the chair its distinctive silhouette and exposes the precision of the chair's construction.

How does Zanotta approach sustainability in the Elipse Chair?

Zanotta, in collaboration with Norguet's studio, specified a polypropylene-based technopolymer with recycled content for the seat and backrest, reflecting a broader industry movement toward integrating circular material sourcing without compromising performance or form.
