1967, Paolo Lomazzi, Donato D’urbino, Jonathan de Pas, for Zanotta, Blow Chair

Description

The one and only inflatable chair. Old stock.

Blow chair. Traces of wear like not being totally clear plastic. This was the first mass-produced inflatable chair. Designed by the Milan-based studio of De Pas, D’Urbino, and Lomazzi and manufactured through a new technique, electronic welding. This icon of 1960s Pop furniture embodies the revolutionary spirit of its time. It is a youthful, playful expression of the free, casual life-style and culture of ephemerality associated with this period. This chair is truly unique. Executed in PVC plastic. There was a tiny leak, which is repaired.

There are two more blows in store with one being repaired (non visible) and one blow without a cushion.
