Cassina x One Block Down "The Right Chair"

One Block Down presents "The Right Chair" with Cassina

One Block Down and Cassina have once again joined to develop a unique interpretation of the iconic Leggera chair, originally designed by Gio Ponti in 1951 for Cassina.

This exciting partnership brings together two industry leaders to showcase the beauty of contemporary craftsmanship and industrialization while celebrating an icon of Italian design innovated thanks to Cassina's experimental research and One Block Down's disruptive and creative approach.

  This limited edition of the Leggera replaces the chair’s traditional wooden structure with hydroformed stainless steel that is left raw with visible welding to highlight its essential form and materials. The result is a new contemporary version of ‘the right chair’ par excellence.  

To honour the collaboration, One Block Down has developed a disruptive installation on the sixth floor of the car park of Rinascente in Milan. It can be visited for the duration of Milan Design Week, from the 18th to the 22nd of April.

The 30 pieces of the limited edition will be available online at oneblockdown.it from the 29th of April at 9 am CET.
