Cassina - Gio Ponti - Armchair - 829 - Cotton, Walnut

Gio Ponti's Armchair 829, designed for Cassina in the 1950s, is much more than an icon of Italian modern design. It is a museum piece, the starting point of a unique style that is still reproduced today in a thousand variants. A piece of furniture that blends the emerging postwar Italian modernity with the unique artisanal craftsmanship of 20th-century cabinetmaking.

Characterized by a reclining mechanical system, it is a homage to beauty and functionality, offering a comfortable and elegant seating experience. The Armchair 829 in this auction is made of solid walnut wood joined together and finished with upholstered fabric using the old belt system to guarantee maximum seating comfort.
