Defined by two identical looped striking steel frames that provide support for the seat, the Cassina 279 Beugel Chair has been ergonomically designed to provide the utmost comfort whilst remaining aesthetically pleasing. The elegant curvature of the shell defines the chair’s profile, extending right the way up and over the back; bestowed by the use of state-of-the-art 3D technology. Lightweight and portable, and available in a range of muted colourways, the slender 279 Beugel Chair is perfect for dining environments both residential and commercial.
Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888-1964) was one of the greatest Dutch architects and furniture designers of all time.
Son of a carpenter, Rietveld was trained as a cabinetmaker before embarking on a career in architecture and joining the ’De Stijl’ Movement, which helped define his progressive style. Rietveld’s most significant furniture pieces include the Red and Blue Chair in 1917, and the Zig Zag Chair designed in 1934.
