The Hill House 1 chair by Cassina, designed by Scottish master Charles Rennie Mackintosh, is much more than a piece of furniture: it is a true sculpture, still considered today a masterpiece of spatial articulation. Its iconic high backrest embodies the designer's unmistakable style and his propensity to boldly tackle the most complex challenges of craftsmanship.
The linear, geometric shape recalls the minimalism and abstract graphics of Japanese design, blending symbolic and figurative values in a striking visual presence. The backrest, defined by a succession of vertical lines culminating in a latticework of uprights and rungs, challenges the limits of the material with its slender, refined sections, transforming the chair into a visual manifesto of balance and tension.
Cassina offers a faithful reissue, crafted with the mastery of Meda's cabinetmakers: the black-stained ash structure accommodates a velvet seat, supported by a solid beech frame with crossed elastic straps to ensure comfort and durability.
The Cassina Hill House 1 chair takes its name from the famous Hill House in Scotland and stands out as a design object capable of embellishing any environment with elegance and verticality. Its slender and sophisticated architectural presence gives character to spaces, transforming them into places of contemplation and style.
