Design icon
The Basket Chair quickly became a success not only in Italy and Switzerland, but also in Germany and the United States. In 1953, Gian Franco Legler received the Good Design Award from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York for the Basket Chair. Just as important to him was the encouragement he received from Charles Eames.
Comfort
