Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Zanotta Zymmo?

Zymmo was designed by Christian Woo and introduced as part of Zanotta's 2025 collection. Woo's approach centers on essential geometry and considered material choices, a sensibility that shapes every detail of the piece.

What is open-pore lacquered ash?

Open-pore lacquering seals the wood surface while leaving the natural grain texture exposed and tactile, rather than filling it with a high-gloss coat. The result is a finish with visible depth and a matte, organic character.

Can the Zymmo be used as both a seat and a side table?

Yes. The Zymmo collection includes pouf and side table configurations, and individual pieces are designed to function interchangeably as seating, a surface, or a sculptural accent within a composition.

What upholstery options are available for the Zymmo pouf?

The removable outer cover is available in fabric or leather, allowing the piece to be specified to match or contrast the surrounding interior. A fixed internal polyester cover provides structural stability beneath.

What makes the Zymmo's foam a more sustainable choice?

The cushioning uses polyurethane produced with a percentage of vegetable-based polyols, which partially replaces petroleum-derived raw materials. This reflects Zanotta's ongoing commitment to reducing environmental impact in production.
