The Classica chair is by Piero Lissoni and is available with or without armrests. Cappellini presents it as a revised version of a Lissoni chair first designed in 1996, with a more massive and imposing structure but an equal aesthetic lightness.

Construction

The structure is solid ash wood in oak-stained, black-stained or red-stained finishes, or solid European cherry wood, which is offered only on the chair with armrests. The seat is padded and upholstered plywood with fixed upholstery in fabric or leather from the collection, and the feet are black plastic.

Specifications

55 x 53 x 77.5 cm (CL_1TF).

Story

A chair that returns in a revised version

Cappellini says that Piero Lissoni originally designed the Classica chair in 1996 and that it re-enters the Cappellini catalogue in a revised version. Compared to its ancestor, the model has a more massive and imposing structure with an equal aesthetic lightness.

Wood, with or without arms

The chair is made of solid cherry or ash wood and comes with or without armrests. The ash structure is stained in oak, black or red, and the cherry structure is offered only for the version with armrests.
