Leggera Chair

The Leggera chair is a 1957 design by Italian architect Gio Ponti. The Leggera chair is an icon of Italian design and an example of the partnership between Ponti, Cesare Cassina and their artisans. The Leggera chair is an early model that gave way to the Superleggera in 1957.

Combining strength and lightness, it is a design icon inspired by traditional craftsmanship, early 20th-century Italian rationalism, and the exploration of modernity. The Leggera chair is simple, refined, and cultured. It is made of black-stained ash wood with a natural rope seat.
