Winner of the prestigious Compasso d’Oro design award in 1979, Maralunga is the embodiment of comfort, with its adjustable headrest which offers a high or low backrest. This design innovation was achieved by inserting a simple bicycle chain inside the foam of the backrest.
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.
