The element that acts as a backrest is slightly shaped to accommodate the sitting position. It is one of the few cases in which the reference to the past does not occur, as is usual with Magistretti, on the basis of the recovery of anonymous models and types. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
