On February 16, 2021, a unique meeting "Business Breakfast with designers" took place in the 2Shades showroom on Bolshoy Savvinsky Lane, which is likely to grow into a wonderful tradition in the future.

The organizer of the event was a network of interior salons 2Shades represented by Surina Polina and Kazakov Arkady, the invited guests were designers, only about 15 participants - the event was held in a narrow circle and strictly by invitation.

At the beginning of the meeting, a buffet was organized, which set a pleasant tone for the whole event. Fragrant coffee, airy croissants and, of course, champagne were waiting for the guests on the tables to create a mood and a light relaxed atmosphere. The breakfast format assumed a pleasant meeting of like-minded people and a story in the format of a lecture about the famous Italian factory Zanotta.

The main speaker of the event was Elena Marchenko, the official representative of Zanotta in Russia. Elena not only told the audience about the history of the brand, new products and bestsellers of the company, but also clearly demonstrated to everyone the main advantages of interior items that are presented in the 2Shades salon. During the lecture, the guests were told about the founder of the company Aurelio Zanotta and his truly progressive and innovative ideas that originated back in the 60s. About iconic interior items, such as the Sacco bag chair, created in 1968 by three Italian designers - Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro, the Mezzadro stool designed in the 1950s by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni designers, about the immortal classics - the Blow Inflatable chair, the Sciangai Coat hanger, the Lariana Chair, the Cetonia Table and much more. And of course, we did not forget to mention the greatest designer Carlo Mollino (Carlo Mollino and his items reissued and produced by Zanotta.
