905 chair is designed by Vico Magistretti for Cassina with frame in natural solid ash or stained black, stained oak or stained Canaletto walnut. Seat and backrest with self-supporting upholstery in 16 colours of saddle leather or 4 colours of pigmented saddle leather.
Black veneer edges. Back of the backrest and belt in black finish.
Produced by Cassina until 2000, this chair has now been relaunched, the finishes and details having been updated from the original archive model. The sophisticated elegance of the frame, which features cylindrical legs and curved arm-rests, has been rejuvenated thanks to Cassina’s extensive experience in handling leather, not to mention the company’s high quality carpentry skills. The complex nature of this piece is expressed in a design that looks simple but fully reflects the genius of the original concept, a veritable masterpiece of the crafts tradition proper to Meda.
The frame, in finest quality wood, bespeaks the perfect combination of the artisanal tradition and premier CNC technology, while the overall design stands out for the self-supporting seat crafted from one single piece of saddle leather, curved and slotted into the frame. The decorative stitching has been removed, while the rear of the chair still features the leather belt that lends support to the back and enhances its comfort quotient.
