Aurelio Zanotta discovered the design at his home in London and put it into production in 1966. The model marks a milestone in the history of upholstered seating: the polyurethane foam blocks themselves form the structure, without the need for a supporting wooden or metal frame. Its supple, informal shape foreshadowed several trends in Italian design of the late 1960s
