501 Göteborg 1 Cassina

Scandinavian designer Erik Gunnar Asplund created the 501 Göteborg 1 Chair for Cassina.

The 501 Göteborg 1 chair's warm and genuine design is the result of a deft fusion of modernism and Scandinavian neoclassicism.

The backrest of this chair is its most distinguishing feature, yet it is just the exterior profile that has been fashioned. The back legs of the semi-arch come back together at this point.

All of the frame is crafted from solid ash wood, and the upper part of the backrest is upholstered in your choice of fabric or leather. The seat's polyurethane foam padding continues the profile's upholstery in terms of both colour and material.

The 501 Göteborg 1 chair is widely regarded as a true design classic owing to its ergonomics and formal daring, both of which are the outcome of a sophisticated modernists poetics.
