S-Chair
cappellini > Chair
The iconic S-Chair by Tom Dixon is an object with an artisanal core, successfully transformed into an authentic industrial masterpiece, without losing the essence of the original product. An emblem of contemporary design, the chair can be found in the permanent collections of the world’s greatest museums, from the Triennale in Milan to the MoMa in New York. S-Chair has a dark varnished metal structure; the iconic original version is upholstered with marsh straw; alternatively, it is available in wicker or with a fixed cover chosen from a selection of leathers or fabrics from the collection. For the marsh straw version, the weaving is done entirely by hand: a meticulous procedure that requires more than 6 hours of craftsmanship.
Indochine
cassina > Chair
The chair was designed in Vietnam, making use of the materials and artisan techniques that could be found during the war. “What could be sweeter than to touch a polished fir table top, smooth as a woman’s legs?”, remarked Charlotte Perriand, who often adapted her designs to the materials available and to the places of production.
Hi Pad

Lukis
cappellini > Chair
The centuries-old tradition of rattan craftsmanship meets contemporary design in the creation of the Lukis armchair, envisioned by Indonesian designer Abie Abdillah; his ground-breaking interpretation of these artisanal techniques from South-East Asia is aimed at fostering greater environmental awareness and sustainability: in fact, rattan is fast-growing, the whole plant is utilizable, and it can be easily moulded with hot steam. For the Lukis, rattan is used to form the distinctive seat and backrest, whereas the frame of the armchair is made of rubber wood, from the tree that yields rubber. The result of this blending of elements is a hand-woven indoor design element characterized by a precise and regular pattern: the cleanliness and accuracy of the pattern and details are a testament to the design, as they might lead one to believe the product was made by sophisticated high-tech machinery. The seat of the Lukis armchairs is available in a natural finish and the legs can be stained in matte blue or matte black. A chair version is also available; for both the chair and armchair, the seat cushion has a fixed cover.

poliform > Chair
In the Magnolia seating collection, as well as in the padded collection of the same name, the idea is to recreate the fluidity of nature’s lines. What emerges therefore is a natural lightness, which in the technical refinement of the execution expresses all of Poliform’s artisan ability. The collection is available in two finishes, one light and one dark, inspired by the Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban, according to which cedar wood is burned to make it more resistant, but also by the typical decorative style of the houses of Cap Ferret, Gallina’s place of origin.

Knotted Chair
cappellini > Chair
The iconic Knotted Chair is a brilliant adult interpretation of the tiny chairs used to decorate a doll’s house, a visionary creation by designer Marcel Wanders. This project has been officially consecrated by earning a place in the permanent collections of the MoMA in New York, the V&A Museum in London and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. By eliminating the distinction between artisanship and industrial production, Wanders has turned this chair into work of art to be cherished in the home and integrated into our daily lives. The macramé technique that inspired the design of the Knotted Chair has been revisited in a surprising structure made of carbon covered with aramide fibre cord and then coated with epoxy resin. Thus, an innovative object was born, with an intrinsically romantic allure: a collector’s piece, utterly unique in the history of international design.
