Description
Cassina's exceptional woodworking craftsmanship is revealed in the precision of the dovetail joints, which reinforce and aesthetically enhance the chair’s intersections. The coloured version, with its open-pore finish, is particularly striking, available in stained ash in primary colours as well as black or white, and highlights the natural wood grain while accentuating the contrast between vertical, diagonal and horizontal lines. This treatment echoes several variations by Rietveld himself, aimed at exploring spatial relationships within minimalist forms. Cassina resumed production of this modernist icon in 1973 and again in 2011 for the iMaestri collection, constructing it from solid ash or American cherry wood with a semi-matte transparent varnish and fitted with plastic glides.
