Story
Rationalist reference
Cassina says the Gaja chair is light, slender and stackable, with a contemporary character that makes constant reference to the pure classic inspiration of Rationalism. The open structure was designed with a small restaurant in mind and later became part of the SimonCollezione because of its versatile and functional character.
Chair and stool options
The product page presents the Gaja chair as available with a padded backrest and in a stool option, both described as suitable for soft contract applications. Gaja Bar keeps the same product language in a taller format, with the choice of an upholstered or non-upholstered backrest and a range of frame coatings, fabrics and leathers.
