Cassina presents Utrecht XL Outdoor, a new interpretation of the iconic armchair designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1935, conceived to meet the anthropometric needs of contemporary generations. Although adapted for outdoor use, Utrecht XL Outdoor retains the essence of the original design: a composition of clean, distinct volumes that reflects Rietveld's experimental vision and the principles of Neoplasticism.
The backrest, slightly inclined to ensure ergonomic support, rests directly on the floor together with the deep and generously padded seat. The armrests, shaped like inverted "L"s, emphasise the rigorous and minimalist geometries that define the armchair's identity.
The supporting structure is made of tubular steel, while the okoumé wood armrests offer resistance to atmospheric agents, preventing water penetration. The recycled PET wadding padding, combined with a water-repellent coating, guarantees comfort and durability. The visible zips and Velcro® fastenings hidden under the seat and armrests allow the single-piece cover to be completely removed without having to dismantle the structure.
The Utrecht XL Outdoor armchair by Cassina is a timeless masterpiece, capable of enriching any outdoor environment with its sculptural presence and timeless charm, from residential settings to public places such as open-air bars and sophisticated terraces.
