Description

Zampa is a vibrant yellow chair defined by energy, playfulness, and expressive form. Its design draws inspiration from the idea of a paw, evoking the presence of a playful animal and translating it into a functional yet sculptural seating object.

The piece explores how familiar gestures and natural references can be transformed into design language, creating an object that feels both approachable and imaginative. Its bold yellow colour reinforces this sense of joy and immediacy, establishing a strong visual presence that brightens any environment.

Zampa is conceived as an object that bridges function and emotion, offering not only a place to sit but also a moment of visual and emotional interaction. Its character makes it suitable for both domestic and public contexts, from living spaces to more playful or informal environments, such as children’s areas.

The chair is produced using traditional construction techniques derived from the craftsmanship of Viareggio carnival floats. This method allows for the creation of lightweight yet structurally stable forms, enabling expressive volumes while maintaining durability and functional integrity. Through this approach, Zampa combines artisanal knowledge with contemporary design sensibility, resulting in a piece that is both technical and poetic in its construction.

Zampa is a handcrafted yellow chair made using Viareggio carnival float techniques. Lightweight internal structure with durable construction and sculptural form inspired by an animal paw.

After studying at IED Florence and the University of the Arts London, he further developed his experimental approach during his time at Fabrica Research Centre before establishing his independent practice.Rooted in the paper-producing district of Lucca, Bocca is known for transforming industrial paper waste and reclaimed materials into sculptural furniture, lighting, and collectible objects. His work combines traditional craftsmanship, material innovation, and environmental awareness, creating pieces distinguished by their expressive forms, tactile surfaces, and strong narrative character.His projects have been exhibited internationally through platforms including Milan Design Week, Alcova, Collectible Brussels, Isola Design Festival, and galleries across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In 2025, Architectural Digest Italia selected Jonathan Bocca among its "New Talents of 2025," recognizing him as one of the most promising emerging voices in contemporary Italian design. The publication highlighted his experimental material research, playful sculptural language, and growing international impact.Also in 2025, Bocca expanded his activity as a curator with Design in a Real World, the inaugural exhibition promoted by VESTIGIA and hosted at Villa Marie in Tuscany. Bringing together designers connected to the region's artisanal heritage, the exhibition explored the relationship between contemporary design, craftsmanship, landscape, and cultural identity.Through both his artistic and curatorial work, Jonathan Bocca continues to investigate how sustainability, local craftsmanship, and material experimentation can generate new forms of contemporary collectible design.
