Developed by Cassina from the designer’s archive in collaboration with Studio Pesce, this contemporary outdoor version translates Pesce’s radical sculptural language into refined exterior living environments.

Originally conceived in 1980 and reintroduced for outdoor use in 2025, Dalila stands as a true manifesto object, expressing Gaetano Pesce’s vision of design as a vehicle for individuality, emotion, and formal freedom. Inspired by the biblical story of Samson and Delilah, the design embodies the symbolic and sculptural force that defines some of Pesce’s most important works. This listing is for the version with arms in beige, offering a more enveloping and architectural presence. The addition of armrests enhances both comfort and visual structure, reinforcing the chair’s bold, monolithic character while maintaining its fluid, sinuous silhouette. The beige finish highlights the softness of the form and provides a warm, understated elegance, making it highly versatile for sophisticated outdoor dining and lounge settings. The chair is made of flexible polyurethane foam coated with a thin layer of colored elastomer, a material solution that ensures durability and comfort while making the piece suitable for outdoor use. A refined production technique minimizes visible joints, emphasizing the continuity, purity, and softness of the design.
