This low chair, made for the city’s General Hospital Hall but also present in many private houses, is characterised by the "Z" shape of its sides, made up of a sequence of three vaguely triangular coplanar elements placed in continuity. The seat and backrest feature typical weaving inside the wooden frame, for which, in addition to the historic teak version, the Cassina Research and Development Centre offers two further variants, in natural oak and stained black oak, produced in the company’s historic carpentry workshop. An optional cushion is available for added protection and comfort. Customers can choose from the following materials: Natural teak, natural oak, black stained oak or oak stained dark walnut This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
