Its innovative spirit makes it an icon of all things modern ‒ deemed a masterpiece with timeless appeal. After making design history, an eco-makeover in 2020 kept faith with the original and with nature, a constant source of inspiration for the authors of the design. Based on research by cassina lab, eco-compatible polyols were introduced into the foam-filled elements and a pet-based blown fiber integrated into the cushion padding. Cushion padding in blown recycled polyester fibre. Structure tubular structure in brushed nickel with low-gloss finish. Foam elements integrated with eco-compatible polyols, derived from renewable plant-based resources. A timeless style that has written its own chapter in design history, becoming an icon of global fame. Designed for ease of conversation, the armchair was exhibited at the salon d’automne [autumn salon] in paris in 1929 as the archetype of the modern concept of furnishings, interpreted by its authors as “household equipment”. The separation between the metal structure and the cushions is consistent with the principles of rationalism, just as the separation between the parts is based on an industrial approach to production, reminiscent of the architectural relationship between the loadbearing structure and the in-fill elements. These models are available with a conscious approach to the environment. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
