the encapsulation of design brilliance, business insight and made-in-italy artisan craftsmanship, the maralunga armchair is an international bestseller steeped in timeless beauty and functionality.

its enveloping contours accentuate the comfort of this design armchair, ensured by the chain mechanism (incorporated into the foam cushion) that controls adjustment of the backrest position.

the unpretentious innovation of the adjustable headrest and the reassuring appearance and simplicity of the soft padding sum up the singularity of this design by vico magistretti.

maralunga 40-s upholstery is completely removable in the fabric version.

stitching

inclination
the mechanism was reinforced to offer an additional 7 degrees of inclination to the backrest.

an international bestseller with warm, reassuring contours, in which the adjustable backrest, visible softness and generous padding highlight its incredible comfort, making way for myriad interpretations. Often imitated, maralunga allows headrest height adjustment thanks to a simple bicycle chain inserted into the structure. The mechanism’s cutting-edge construction, patented by cassina, allows for instantaneous conversion of the backrest from the lower, more formal position for conversation, to the higher position for total relaxation. In 2014, in conjunction with maralunga’s 40th anniversary, cassina introduced an updated version with upholstery in fabric or leather and the characteristic piping, lending it an even more modern and contemporary look (maralunga 40), and the launch of a version with removable fabric upholstery (maralunga 40-s).
the revolutionary sofa evolves again in 2024 to deliver even greater comfort. Thanks to in-depth research carried out in collaboration with the fondazione magistretti, the internal mechanism was reinforced to offer an additional 7 degrees of inclination to the backrest, making it more comfortable than ever.
the family includes an armchair, ottoman, and two- and three-seat sofas in various dimensions.
