The 836 Tre Pezzi Wool Armchair by Franco Albini is a collector's item produced by Cassina in a special run. The seat's signature goat-fur upholstery is a showpiece. This seat, like other Cassina goods, is of exceptional quality, thanks to the meticulous technical preparation that retains the leather's intrinsic features while increasing its attractiveness.
One of the armchair's defining features is a frame made of tubular steel that has been folded along sinuous lines to resemble the handrails of Milan's subways.
The chair is a contemporary take on the traditional French armchair, which is distinguished by its high back and generous padding.
Each of the three main components of the armchair is entrusted with a very specific purpose while still preserving the substantial volumes of padding augmented by the fur upholstery utilized. The combination of a flat, semi-circular tubular section that provides lumbar support and a gradually increasing depth of the seat makes for just the appropriate amount of comfort. In conclusion, the third component of the headrest, which is designed in the shape of a semicircle and features spiral springs, accomplishes the goal of combining ergonomics, utility, and aesthetics.
