Set of 4 Superleggera 699 Chairs by Gio Ponti (1960s)

Set of 4 Superleggera chairs, produced by Cassina in the early 1960s and designed by Gio Ponti. The Superleggera chair is a famous creation by Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti. The name “Superleggera” perfectly describes the main feature of the chair: its exceptionally lightweight structure. Gio Ponti designed the Superleggera chair in 1957 for the company Cassina. It is considered an iconic piece of furniture design and a symbol of mid-century modern style. The chair features a minimalist and elegant design that emphasizes simplicity and functionality. The Superleggera chair has a solid ash wood frame, with slim, tapered legs. It features a ladder-back design with thin horizontal slats forming the backrest. The seat is made of woven cane, enhancing the chair’s lightness and natural look.
