Villabianca
Designed concomitantly to the Edison table, again for Cassina, the Villabianca chair interprets a style that is shared by the company's other products during the same period, with the round section of the structural elements (wood or metal "tubes") being the common denominator.
A medium-sized chair, it has an ash frame dyed in different tones of colour and features the disrupting graphic design of the rear leg becoming the armrest. The backrest and the seat are in polyester resin upholstered with a cushion padded with polyester wadding (fully removable), covered in textile or leather. Thanks to its dry aesthetics, the chair is well suited for domestic or office use.
