Vico Magistretti “122” Chairs for Cassina, 1967, Set of 6
Description
Vico Magistretti for Cassina “122” chairs for Cassina, black structure, Italy, 1967, set of six.
The “122” chairs designed by Vico Magistretti in 1967 have a sculptural design, created with a wooden structure, plywood shells, and semi-cylindrical section legs that permit the chairs to be stacked to reduce their size and be easily moved. This feature was a significant innovation for the ’60s. Like the plywood seat, the slightly concave backrest connects seamlessly to the vertical uprights that rise in a spiral direction. Explicitly recalling the earlier model “121” designed by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Cassina, in the Magistretti chairs the backrest has a fork shape that evokes the flexibility of the back support. The seats are covered with leather.
Our atelier restored and reupholstered the chair. We offer custom restoration and special reupholstering on request. Contact us to create the object you desire.
