The Cassina Leggera chair is a true icon of Italian design: essential, cultured and versatile, capable of adapting naturally to a wide range of environments and styles. Considered the wooden chair par excellence, Leggera is one of the masterpieces born from the historic collaboration between Gio Ponti, Cesare Cassina and the company's craftsmen.
The structure, in solid ash or Canaletto walnut, is light and slender, designed to be easily moved and placed according to the needs of the space. Comfort is ensured by the thermoformed polyurethane padding applied to the seat and backrest and covered in leather or fabric, creating a refined contrast in texture and colour with the wood.
The numerous combinations of finishes and colours make Leggera a timeless model, capable of fitting effortlessly into residential and contract contexts. The design challenge faced by Ponti and Cassina—to lighten the structure without compromising its strength—led to the creation of the famous Superleggera, an extreme evolution of the concept of lightness.
Available with or without armrests, the Cassina Leggera chair is the result of a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. From the dining area to the private study, this chair continues to furnish with simple refinement, confirming its contemporary appeal and timeless value.
