Dominique Zimbacca (1928–2011) was a French architect and designer whose work belongs to an alternative form of modernity, more organic and sensitive than the orthodox postwar modernist movement. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in the early 1950s, he developed, notably alongside Hervé Baley, a holistic approach to space in which architecture, furniture, and landscape are closely connected. His work is distinguished by sculptural forms, strong constructive rigor, and a particular attention to materials.

In the field of furniture design, Dominique Zimbacca is also associated with Pierre Chapo, who edited or produced some of his models in the 1960s and 1970s. This connection with Chapo’s universe reflects Zimbacca’s taste for a design language that is both architectural, understated, and powerfully built, in which wood and structure play a central role.
