This multi-tasker is Italian design at its most accomplished: sculptural, exceptionally made, and Quite Comfortable. Its enveloping black leather, softly rounded arms, supportive headrest, and sculptural metal base deliver the sort of understated authority that doesn't need to work the room.

In a home theatre, it brings considerably more design credibility than the average recliner. Beside a fireplace, it looks entirely at ease. And in a bedroom, it is ideally suited to reading, contemplating, or putting on your socks without turning the exercise into an athletic event.

The swivel keeps you in command of your surroundings; the reclining mechanism and integrated footrest take care of the business of getting comfortable. Fully extended, it becomes almost chaise-like, because apparently Cassina saw no reason to make relaxation anything less than chic.

Recipient of the prestigious Good Design Award in 1999 and later selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Saint-Étienne. Not every recliner can claim critical acclaim and museum-worthy design. Fewer still can make a compelling case for cancelling your plans and calling it an exercise in good taste. See less
