Leggera Chair by GIO PONTI
The Leggera Chair, designed by Gio Ponti, represents one of the key moments of the collaboration between the designer and Cassina. The structure has been designed to lighten the piece of furniture without sacrificing stability and strength. The padded backrest with removable cushion offers a functional detail that enriches the seat, while the essential and linear proportions confer a sense of lightness and precision. The chair recalls the lines of the traditional Chiavarina chair, reinterpreting them with lightness and technical precision. The clean shape and orderly surfaces allow the chair to fit naturally into different contexts, from domestic spaces to collective ones.
The Leggera Chair is also distinguished by the careful use of materials and coverings. The attention to materials and craftsmanship emerges in the details of the joints and the finishing of the surfaces, testifying to the quality of the woodworking by Cassina. The result is a model that is always current and does not weigh down the environment. The key feature of Cassina's Leggera Chair is its simple, refined structure, with ultra-thin triangular legs measuring just 18 mm, designed to ensure support and maximum lightness. Thanks to this advanced construction solution, Gio Ponti's Leggera chair weighs just 1.7 kg, making it ideal for modern, contract, and residential settings.
