Model 806 lounge chairs, designed by Carlo de Carli and produced by Cassina. The design is defined by its sculpted profile, with a high back, flared wings, and curved arms that taper neatly into the seat. Raised on tapered wooden legs, the chair has a visual lightness that sharpens its otherwise generous form. A refined Italian design from the 1950s, with a compact footprint and a strong architectural line.
These examples are currently upholstered in a patterned textile, though the model is especially well suited to COM. The model is especially well suited to COM, and would take beautifully to velvet, mohair, or wool.
