Product Details

Product Description

VIco Magistretti's Armchair model 905, crafted in 1964 and manufactured by Cassina in Italy, is a contemporary seat with a rich cultural heritage. This sophisticated chair is a manifestation of Magistretti's creativity, offering a practical and straightforward design made of solid wood and cowhide. While Cassina produced this chair until 2000, it has since been re-introduced with updated finishes and details. The cylindrical legs and curved armrests of the chair frame showcase the company's skilled carpentry and leather-crafting expertise. The intricate combination of traditional craftsmanship and advanced CNC technology can be seen in the self-supporting saddle leather seat, crafted from a single piece of leather. While the decorative stitching has been removed, the rear of the chair still features a leather belt to enhance comfort. It is important to note that some images may show different color variations of the model for interior design suggestions, while the first image represents the actual product for sale. Actual colors of the product may also vary slightly due to differences in technology used to view the item on various screens.
