Designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1953, the Cassina Ombra armchair reinterprets the formal structure of the chair of the same name, created in the same period. The bold use of curved wooden surfaces and the visual interplay between the object and its reflection express the designer's unmistakable style, combining extreme functionality and essential structure in a design of surprising ingenuity and subtle elegance.
The modern, minimalist composition is enhanced by a flat steel base with a polished chrome finish, whose slim profile supports the square upholstery in a harmonious contrast. The rigorous geometry of the seat and backrest allows the elements to be combined in a modular way, creating a continuous seat with a fluid, undefined line.
The Ombra armchair, reissued by Cassina in full respect of its original authenticity, expresses the principle of absolute comfort. It fits naturally and elegantly into contemporary living spaces, offering a large and welcoming seat, ideal for enjoying conviviality in style. Also perfect in contract contexts — hotel lobbies, waiting rooms, representative offices — Ombra reveals its full value: maximum functionality, ingenious design and impeccable aesthetics.
