An armchair with an extended support
One side of the chair projects beyond the seat as a horizontal padded plane. The drawing shows fixed and height-variable arrangements, as well as left- and right-hand versions.
Seat and cushion assembly
Cassina divides feather and polyurethane-flake filling between cushion sections, then supports the chair on cast and extruded aluminium feet.
