Made entirely of thick felted wool, this design armchair by gaetano pesce combines an enveloping pliable backrest with a rigid lower section; a quilted topper creates an inviting cocoon. Padding quilted topper with polyester batting. Structure felted wool. Seat attached to structure with hemp cord. Produced by cassina in both a metal and wood frame, with the same shape changing its personality, depending on which frame material used, the back and the seat always being leather. The simple geometry of the structure is warmer and closer to nature in the walnut or ashwood, and is thus ideal for the home environment. The chair’s lines become more slender and impactful in the cast aluminium option: here the ideal setting is the office or corporate space. The innovative approach used to assemble the leather sections reveals a clever configuration of cuts and folds that highlight the company’s crafts capabilities. The upholstery is an “envelope” into which slips the frame, no stitching in sight. Meticulous attention has been paid to the chair’s functional aspects, primarily through the use of a thermoformed plastic shell coupled with a thin layer of polyurethane. Meantime, the rounded seat enhances the feeling that eve is a comfortable chair this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
