One Block Down x Zanotta "Chromatic Stream"
In its latest project, One Block Down has partnered with Zanotta, the iconic Italian furniture brand founded in 1954 in Nova Milanese.
This collaboration pays homage to the work of iconic designer Liisi Beckmann, born in the Karelia region in Finland in 1923 who moved to Milan in 1957, starting her work as an object and furniture designer.The product at the centre of this collaboration between One Block Down and Zanotta is the iconic Karelia, first released in 1966. It is one of the most famous pieces in modern design. This non-conforming pop icon armchair symbolises freedom and the Sixties. The Karelia is one of the first frameless armchairs, made entirely of polyurethane foam. The inspiration behind its wave-like surface and design comes from the Karelia area of Finland, where the designer is from, famous for its bays and gulfs.This special collaboration features a unique edition characterised by "eco-leather" in a metallic colour, one of the symbolic elements of the dialogue and stylistic progress of One Block Down, with an embossed logo on the back and special branded label.
To honour the collaboration, One Block Down has created a special installation at its Milan space located at Piazza Armando Diaz 2. It can be visited from April 16th to April 21st, between 11:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
The collaboration will be available online at One Block Down and in-store at One Block Down Milan store on April 26th at 10 am CET.
