Originally made in collaboration with Magistretti, who started designing for Cassina in 1960, the Maralunga is an iconic Italian design piece that has stood the test of time with its eclectic style and imaginative functionality. The armchair’s distinctive silhouette and embracing contours create a warm, cosy spot to relax for hours on end just as the designer intended.
Renowned for its ingenious adjustable backrest, which uses a simple bicycle chain mechanism embedded in the back’s foam, the armchair allows you to find the perfect high or low position for total relaxation. Whether placed in a living room, bedroom or study, the Maralunga Armchair promises long-lasting comfort for quiet downtime or during memorable occasions with family and friends.
Italian designer Vico Magistretti was dubbed one of the founding fathers of Italian design.
In the 1960s, Magistretti began working with some of the world’s leading manufacturers – from Artemide to Oluce - designing furniture and objects considered modern-day “classics”. Today, his award-winning work can be seen in galleries, museums and private residences – each piece showcasing his ability to fuse simplicity with essentialism in contemporary design.
