Story
Fluid curves
Cassina's page heads the chair with this line and says it outclasses the stereotypes with a bold new plasticity and its own personality. The sheet credits Patricia Urquiola, 2018.
The covering
The sheet describes a covering draped like a sheet of paper over a frame of strong lines, with no stitching in sight and a leather trim along the edges of the back and seat.
