The Ombra armchair, designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1953, takes up the structure of its namesake chair, combining maximum functionality and minimal structure. The geometric design allows multiple elements to be placed side by side to create a continuous seat, enhancing its minimalist character. Re-edited by Cassina, it maintains the authenticity of the original project, expressing the perfect balance between ingenuity, aesthetics and absolute comfort.
Cassina
Cassina was founded in 1927 in Meda (Milan) by Cesare and Umberto Cassina, inaugurating industrial design in Italy in the 1950s.
