Introducing a fantastic pair of model 849 lounge chairs, accompanied by a complementing and rare footstool, designed by the illustrious Gianfranco Frattini and manufactured by Cassina in 1956. These exceptional chairs boast a solid walnut wooden frame, characterized by its straightforward and clean lines. The true beauty of these chairs lies in the striking contrast between the minimalist frames and the utterly organic, upholstered seats.

 

The wooden frames exhibit a super straight and minimalistic aesthetic, while the upholstered seats present a beautiful and inviting appearance. The elegant curvature of the arms seamlessly cascades over the wooden structure, making these chairs an absolute delight to behold. Reupholstered in a luxurious caramel velvet fabric, the chairs not only offer supreme comfort but also highlight the walnut frames, creating a fantastic visual contrast. The walnut frames are in good original condition, displaying only minor age-related wear. And still have the original Cassina label on the inside of the structures. These 849 chairs are priced and sold as a set of three pieces with the footstool.

 

Their exceptional design was recognized with the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award in 1956, one of the most renowned accolades in Italian design.
