An enduring icon of Italian design, this Cassina Maralunga lounge chair and matching ottoman, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1973, is celebrated for its exceptional comfort and timeless silhouette. Upholstered in rich brown velvet, this beautifully proportioned set offers a warm, inviting presence while showcasing one of the most influential seating designs of the 20th century.
The Maralunga's revolutionary adjustable backrest allows the back cushion to be effortlessly raised or lowered, transforming the chair from a relaxed lounge seat into a more upright position. Its generous cushions, softly sculpted arms, and deep seat provide outstanding comfort, while the matching ottoman completes the set, making it the perfect place to unwind.
The sumptuous brown velvet upholstery enhances the chair's sculptural form, lending depth and texture that complements both contemporary and vintage interiors. A true design classic, the Maralunga was awarded the prestigious Compasso d'Oro in 1979 and remains one of Cassina's most celebrated creations.
