The backrest can be raised or lowered for total comfort. It won the compasso d’oro award in 1979. The maralunga is characterized by what looks like a slumped backrest but is an adjustable-height headrest, moved by way of a bicycle chain that runs underneath its plush foam cushions. The effect is a chair that serves two functions: it’s both a backdrop for social conversation and a setting for solo relaxation. “my intention with maralunga was to design an object that represented a whole range of interior architecture with a familiar feel,” magistretti said of the design. “two positions, two possible uses, two different ways to create your own space inside a room.” cassina designed custom-made feet to sit a bit higher and for protection.
