Zeus-Noto
Zeus was founded in 1984 by a group of friends who enjoyed and wanted to share their experiences in the fields of design, fashion, and art. Their desire to merge these three fields gave rise to a boutique that designed and produced its own fabrics and fashion collections, an art gallery presenting one-man shows by group members and avant-garde proposals from Italy and abroad, and a collection of design furniture.Today, all that remains from this initial project are the Zeus fashion boutique and the design collection, which is primarily designed by its Art Director Maurizio Peregalli.
The Zeus design collection is characterized by its use of industrial-type materials: For example, linoleum flooring is used to cover tables and consoles, Pirelli "polka dot" rubber sheets normally used for car mats are applied to chair seats, and extruded rubber couplings are turned into armrests and backrests, and so on.
"These objects were designed for relaxing and thinking, not for showing off or astounding: they were designed to be used." Created for everyday use, they express a concept of "being" as well as an elegant, understated style. The look is austere and technological, and the materials are functional, simple and economical.
