A distinctive feature of the model is its innovative patented mechanism—a hidden bicycle chain integrated into the foam cushion—which allows the height of the backrest and headrest to be adjusted from low to high, ensuring personalized comfort. Each seat has an independent, fold-down headrest.
Winner of the ADI Compasso d'Oro award in 1979, Maralunga is an international bestseller and an exemplary synthesis of design genius, entrepreneurial intuition, and Italian craftsmanship. Its soft padding, formal simplicity, and understated innovation make it a timeless classic. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
