Comfortable seating Paolo Lomazzi's collaboration with Jonathan de Pas and Donato D'Urbino began in 1966. In the 1960s-1970s, they developed a specific interest in creating furniture and temporary architecture with industrially advanced materials and technology. They designed and built a series of pneumatic structures for the Italian Pavilion at the World Exposition in Osaka, the XIV Triennale of Milan, and Eurodomus.
