905 from Cassina
The chair was produced by Cassina until 2000 and is reissued today, updating the finish solutions and treatments of the archive model. The refined elegance of the structure with cylindrical legs and arched armrests is revived thanks to Cassina's experience in leather processing and first-class joinery.
The complexity of the object is transformed into a seemingly simple design that fully reflects the ingenuity of the original project. The frame in precious wood represents the balance between artisanal tradition and the innovative technology of numerical control.
The design, on the other hand, is characterised by the self-supporting seat, which consists of a single piece of leather bent around the structure. The decorative stitching has been removed, while the back section is still finished with a leather strap that supports the backrest and further enhances the feeling of comfort.
The frame of Chair 905 is made of ash or American walnut. The seat and backrest are covered with core leather and available in various colours.
Cassina
Founded by Cesare and Umberto Cassina in Meda in 1927, the company launched industrial design in Italy during the 50’s by taking a completely new approach which saw a shift from handcraftsmanship to serial production. The company was pioneering in the way that it showed a striking inclination for research and innovation, combining technological skill with traditional craftsmanship. For the first time important architects and designers were involved and encouraged to envision new designs to be transformed into projects, a characteristic that still distinguishes the company. Today Cassina continues to represent new ways of living, creating complete and harmonious settings that bring together the best of design for each area of the home.
