One day a Pirelli manager asked me: “What can you make with foam rubber other than mattresses?”». This is how the story of \u003cem\u003eZizì\u003c\/em\u003e begins, as told by Bruno Munari: \u003cstrong\u003ea small and flexible monkey with a wire “skeleton”, designed by Munari in the early 1950s\u003c\/strong\u003e, not to be looked at, but to be touched and handled, making the user’s mind more flexible: by playing, says Munari, “the mind becomes elastic, thought dynamic. The individual becomes creative”. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinner of the first edition of the Compasso d’Oro design award in 1954, \u003cem\u003eZizì\u003c\/em\u003e has become a symbol of Italian design, which continues to illustrate Munari’s experimentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, his way of exploring – with great enjoyment – the potential of newer materials, his search for formal essentiality. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese \u003c\/em\u003eZizì\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003e monkeys were produced in 2007 by Tecnoassemblaggi Toys, Brescia.
