Pair of Taliesin 1 lounge chairs, designed by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1949 for his own home.
This pair is a re-edition from 2018 issued by Cassina in partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright foundation. The piece wasn't mass produced until the late 1980s, when Cassina first released a version of it, but was discontinued shortly after in 1990 for being "too avant-garde". So also that version is already quite rare.
The chairs are both marked and numbered: 0011 and 0012. The original booklets are with it.
The complex angled structure of Taliesin 1, which ensures its stability, draws on his modernist architectural style. Constructed from a single piece of folded plywood, the chair has a characteristic "wooden origami" shape.
The chairs are executed in warm cherry wood veneer and are upholstered in green leather, which makes a fantastic combination.
In this latest edition, the chair is updated with a slightly more reclined backrest and thicker padding.The original front feet have been removed to simplify the lines of the chair's geometrical body, placing more emphasis on its folds. The chair's wooden edges are deliberately left visible.
The chairs are in excellent condition. Just 1 minimal veneer repair at the back foot, as visible in the photo. Futhermore very good, minimal traces of use. This piece has an attribution mark,
I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity
