About this seller
Product description
Giò Ponti is perhaps the most influential personality in Italian design and architecture for nearly three decades, from the 1950s to the 1970s. In his long career, he was able to leave an unforgettable mark on furniture, tableware, architecture and interior decoration. One of his most famous works is the 699 chair designed for Cassina, and aptly named "Superleggera," Italian for Ultralight, given its spring-like weight of only 1,700 grams per chair. The Superleggera is one of the most beloved chairs ever made. These are two original chairs produced and originally purchased by my parents in the 1970s. One chair is in good condition, certainly the seating condition is perfect,. You do see in the photos a few signs of use on the frame, indicating that the chairs have been used. On the other chair, the seat is clearly used. Although you can still use the chair perfectly, you can see that that seat is noticeably sagging a bit and coming loose in several places (see photos).
