Gio ponti leggera chair for cassina an icon of chair design and of cassina’s masterful artisan craftsmanship. A tasteful and versatile piece reminiscent of the sleek lines of the traditional chiavari chair, leggera is the wood chair par excellence as well as one of the flagship pieces in the partnership between gio ponti, cesare cassina and the company’s joinery experts. The experience and skills of the cassina fine joinery lived up to the challenge of progressively paring down the structure which later give rise to the more slender and equally unmistakable 699 superleggera chair. Structure structure in solid ash or canaletto walnut. Backrest padding contoured thermoformed polyurethane. Upholstery fabric or leather. An icon of design, it is now available in the classic version as well as with armrests. Its clean, sophisticated yet versatile lines make it an excellent solution to a wide range of decor needs. The quintessential wood chair, leggera marks one of the key points of the design and production relationship which began in the 1950s between gio ponti, cesare cassina, and the company’s artisans. The experience, expertise and skills of the cassina joinery masters were put to the test in addressing the challenge of progressively lightening the chair frame – to craft the unique slimline superleggera chair – concentrating on its essential lines while maintaining its strength and stability. The many combinations and color contrasts between the ash wood frame, the seat covering and the padded backrest, made of a separate cushion with removable upholstery, keep the leggera contemporary and a perfect fit in any setting. 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
issues arising from misattribution
