Vintage Blow Chair by Paolo Lomazzi, Donato D'Urbino and Jonathan De Pas for Zanotta
Italy, 1967. Air-filled PVC plastic. The first mass-produced inflatable chair.
Blow, the first Italian inflatable design object, soon became the symbol of the new free and light style, and represented the embodiment of the utopian design project by Marcel Breuer as an article of furniture supported by a column of air, in addition to confirming how Zanotta has consistently combined research and the promotion of experimental products to an evolved public over the years. Although the armchair is currently out of production, Blow is nowadays considered a symbolic object of the legendary ‘60s, one of the most important “pop” items and as such it is taken as a model of the social and cultural changes of those years.
Dimensions: 30”H x 37”D x 40.25"W x 15” SH
Condition: Wear consistent with age. Patch repair to seat cushion.
Available for pickup or delivery in Chicago.
