sold / Black leather Maralunga lounge chairs by Vico Magistretti for Cassina, 1973

For Vico Magistretti the Maralunga was about transformation. It was about the transformability of objects, required by the new family rituals that arose. In the seventies for example, the television became accessible to more and more families. This new way of lazy pastime dictated a different use of a sofa or chair, to which Magistretti cleverly responded with a foldable cushion as an extended headrest.

These two chairs are in good vintage condition but have some small signs of age and wear at the bottom.
