Sacco Goes Green is the limited edition of the Sacco by Zanotta, designed in order to celebrate 50 years of this iconic piece: innovative and sustainable materials– both the internal padding and the cover.
The expanded high-resistant polystyrene pellets (EPS) of the original design are replaced by BioFoam® microspheres by Synbra: a bio-plastic (PLA) deriving from sugar cane that can be compared to EPS due to its structure, properties and technical performances. BioFoam® is biodegradable and it can be industrially composted, it is durable and is suitable for long-term use.
The envelope is made of ECONYL®, a completely renewed nylon thread derived from abandoned fishing nets recovered from the seabed, synthetic fabric and industrial plastic waste, that are transformed into a new thread with the same quality and properties as if it was made from oil. ECONYL® thread can be recycled, renewed and remodelled countless times without the use of any additional natural resources.
The exclusive numbered collection, SACCO GOES GREEN, is offered in three variations, 100 pieces each, using three new patterns designed by Pierre Charpin. Inspired by the netting, the French designer created a graphic of tightly woven coloured lines, which are offered in three colour variations. Each will fit any size Sacco without modifying the pattern effect.
Each piece of the limited collection set will be identified by the piping covered with jacquard printed fabric in a corresponding colour, running the entire height of the seat. It contains both the serial number and a repeat of the collection name SACCO GOES GREEN.
