The solid wood frame is enhanced by black-painted steel rod bracing, while the stretched fabric seat and backrest provide both visual lightness and remarkable comfort.

The design is distinguished by its clean lines and honest construction: the inclined uprights, rectangular-section rails and exposed steel tension rods are intentionally left visible, becoming an integral part of the chair's aesthetic. The white fabric, stretched directly between the wooden elements without unnecessary padding, creates an elegant contrast with the warm tone of the timber while emphasizing the precision of the overall proportions.

The result is a chair with a discreet yet distinctive presence, equally suited to contemporary interiors and more traditional settings. Cassina's renowned manufacturing quality and meticulous attention to detail make this set of eight chairs a fine example of 1970s Italian design, where functionality and formal refinement coexist in perfect balance.

Condition: Excellent overall condition, with minor signs of use.
