Perfect today in any residential or contract setting. Designed for ease of conversation, the armchair was exhibited in 1929 at the salon d’automne in paris as the archetype of the modern concept in 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. Cushion padding variable density polyurethane foam. Resin-treated polyester fibre batting laminated to fabric lining. Structure frame in tubular steel. Polished chrome or painted. Upholstery fabric or leather 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 also available in an eco-friendly version that stays true to the original design. Thanks to the study conducted by cassina lab, a partnership between the cassina research and development center and the poli.design consortium of the politecnico university in milan, the foam-fill parts, the padding in the cushions and the tubular structure are produced with sustainable materials and processes. 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
