The 722 Woodline armchair, originally designed by Marco Zanuso in 1964, is composed of three distinct elements: curved wood frame, supporting panel and cushions. The wooden frame is made of curved plywood with walnut stained walnut finishes. The supporting panel is composed of an internal steel panel upholstered in non-removable stiff leather with non-removable cushion covers in leather.
Marco Zanuso designed the Woodline from a matrix based on the geometry of the circle, which gives the entire structure a classic formal precision and developed the supporting frame as shown here in wood.
Italian architect-designer Marco Zanuso was born in Milan in 1916. He graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 1939 and opened his own architecture and design studio in 1945. His designs were characterized by bright colors, synthetic materials, and sculptural shapes, bringing vanguard concepts to mass-produced consumer products.
Cassina was established in 1927 in the Northern region of Brianza, Italy, an area noted for its skilled artisans and woodworkers. Rooted in high quality Italian craftsmanship Cassina began acquiring licenses to reproduce some of the world’s most well renowned furniture designs. The incredible quality of materials leads to the most amazing expression of form and function celebrating new design as well as highlighting notable designs of the past.
