The Maralunga 40 sofa that Vico Magistretti designed for Cassina is often cited as a prime example of Italian design at its finest. Maralunga is a timeless piece of furniture that marks Magistretti's unending exploration of design history, design culture, and the endless exploration of new materials and space solutions. This iteration commemorates the 40th birthday of the Maralunga sofa in 2014 and introduces a new design detail in the form of seams along the cushions' profiles.
Adjusting the backrest is as simple as inserting a bike chain into the padding and moving it up or down to suit one's needs. Each and every seat in the Maralunga family is distinguished by Cassina's patented scheme.
The padding is a polyurethane foam of varying densities, and the frame is tubular and supported by elastic belts. Each individual seat's backrest may be folded down, and a variety of leathers and fabrics from the Cassina line can be used for the upholstery.
