Eco-friendly Choice Savonarola Chair By Zeus Noto - Ships Same Day [1qruCgNa]

The Savonarola Chair by Zeus Noto, designed by Maurizio Peregalli, reinterprets the classic Italian “Empire” or X‑chair through a distinctly modern, industrial lens. Its entire structure is forged from square‑section steel tubing, finished in a semi‑opaque matte black that emphasizes the chair’s geometric rigor and sculptural silhouette. Rather than wood and leather, the seat and armrests are molded in textured black rubber, adding both visual contrast and a tactile comfort that belies the chair’s austere frame. The absence of a traditional backrest in some variants reinforces the Savonarola’s minimalist ethos, while the subtle curve of the arm supports hints at the ergonomic considerations behind this bold, architectural piece.

Crafted in Italy in the 1990s, yet rooted in a design dating back to 1984, the Zeus Noto Savonarola balances historical reference with contemporary material innovation. It pays homage to the Renaissance curule and Dante chairs—symbols of authority and ceremony—while asserting its own post‑modern identity through industrial finishes and streamlined form. As both an art object and a functional seating solution, the Savonarola sits equally at home in a high‑end gallery, a minimalist office, or a lofted living space, embodying the Zeus Noto philosophy of “essential design” that strips furniture to its structural and material essence.
