298 Unicredit Pavilion Project Cassina

Michele de Lucchi created the 298 Unicredit Pavilion Project Chair for Cassina in the Milanese Unicredit Pavilion.

The classic "director's chair" is a design staple that exemplifies the combination of skilled craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. The building's sturdy beech construction is a testament to Cassina's expert carpentry. Canvas is typically used for both the back and seat components. The "X" shape of the supporting structure ensures the practical and adaptable ergonomics of the chair by allowing it to be folded and closed like a bellows underneath the seat in both the front and the back. In its initial form, the chair was meant to be quickly and easily moved from one place to another. The basic framework of its design has not altered over time, but the look and feel of some components, such as the closing mechanism, which is now made of brushed stainless steel, have been updated.

The 298 Unicredit Pavilion Project chair is the ideal combination of function and form, as it can be used in a variety of settings and for a variety of purposes.
