A highlight of Cassina’s catalogue since 1957, the 699 Superleggera represents the perfect outcome between the creative imagination of the architect Gio Ponti, and Cassina’s manufacturing excellence, an undisputed icon that is both of-the-moment and pays tribute to traditional artisanal skills. 699 Superleggera demonstrates the constructive prowess of the Cassina craftsmen: the challenge they faced, of making an extra-light chair, was overcome with 699 Superleggera’s legs having a triangle-shaped cross-section of just eighteen millimetres, while the frame exploits the inherent lightness and flexibility of ashwood, the whole weighing a mere 1,700 grams, paired with a seat frame in beech, which is closer-grained and stronger. The wood parts are created by machine, and hand-finished, glue being applied with a brush, the excess being wiped off , and the seat being hand-woven. Thus do crafts expertise and industrial innovation come together in what one may call a “prime object”, informed by the chair-making traditions of Chiavari, in Liguria, northern Italy. The Superleggera is available both in the classic version or with coloured legs, as well as with a padded seat.
