The Superleggera chair is a famous design created by Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti. "Superleggera" in Italian means "super light," which perfectly describes the main feature of the chair: its exceptionally light structure.
Gio Ponti designed the Superleggera chair in 1957 for the Cassina company. It is considered an iconic piece of furniture design and a symbol of mid-century modern style. The chair features a minimalist and elegant design that emphasizes simplicity and functionality.
The Superleggera chair's frame is made of solid wood, typically ash or walnut, with slender, tapered legs. It has a ladder design, with thin horizontal slats forming the backrest. The seat is typically made of woven straw or reed, to increase the chair's lightness and natural aesthetic. This piece has an attribution mark,
