These 4 iconic black painted Superleggera chairs are overall in good condition, but 3 of the chairs have a tear on the side of the delicate Indian reed seats (canna d'India alla maniera chiavarina) - see photo. Having the chairs repaired or rereeded is therefore recommended. This is the Superleggera no. 699 series, designed in 1957 by the Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti for Cassina, the chair par excellence, symbolising the modernism in Italian design. I bought the chairs in 1985 for €500 (20,000 BEF at the time) apiece and I am the first owner. Nowadays the new price of these chairs is €1500 apiece. Please note: the new version is more robust and cost-effective because the seat consists of woven thread and not of Indian reed. Dimensions: H 82 cm, L 40 cm, D 40 cm The chair only weighs 1.7 kg. Pick-up is preferred due to the dimensions and the vulnerability of the chairs.
