832 Luisa Cassina

Designer Franco Albini created the 832 Luisa armchair for the Cassina series in its final form in 1955. Albini's extensive design study culminates in this iconic product, a symbol of the designer's attempt to capture the essence of everyday existence in its most basic form. The latter emphasizes their value of functionality and usability within the living environment in the most basic and essential aspects.

The armchair's formal beauty is shown in bold, decisive lines that are sometimes narrow but widen at the places of intersection. This design classic won the ADI Compasso d'Oro because it exemplifies a refined technical and aesthetic command of form.

The frame is made of solid ash or walnut wood, and it is made to fit a cushion with soft curves and measurements.

The 832 Luisa armchair's formal and structural qualities mark it as a timeless object of immense historical worth, capable of striking up a conversation with both the past and the future.
