Vico Magistretti ‘Maralunga’ Armchair for Cassina, Italy, 1970s

€2,400.00

This vintage example has been completely reupholstered in genuine black and white cowhide, giving the classic Italian design a unique and graphic appearance. As cowhide is a natural material, the pattern and texture vary throughout the chair, making this a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

One of the defining features of the Maralunga is its ingenious adjustable backrest. A patented mechanism hidden inside the structure allows the upper section to move instantly between a low position and a raised headrest position. With the headrest raised, the chair provides excellent support for the head and neck and becomes an exceptionally comfortable lounge chair.

The original Maralunga is constructed around a steel frame with generous polyurethane foam padding. Its combination of enveloping proportions, softness and mechanical ingenuity made it an important example of 1970s Italian design.

Dimensions: approx. W 99 × D 95 × H 72/100 cm (headrest down/up)

Condition: Very good vintage condition, newly reupholstered in cowhide.
