A timeless style that has written its own chapter in design history, becoming an icon of global fame. Designed for ease of conversation, the armchair was exhibited at the Salon d’Automne [Autumn Salon] in Paris in 1929 as the archetype of the modern concept of furnishings, interpreted by its authors as “household equipment”. The separation between the metal structure and the cushions is consistent with the principles of Rationalism, just as the separation between the parts is based on an industrial approach to production, reminiscent of the architectural relationship between the loadbearing structure and the in-fill elements.
These models are also available in an eco-friendly version that stays true to the original design. Thanks to the study conducted by Cassina LAB, a partnership between the Cassina Research and Development Center and the Poli.design consortium of the Politecnico University in Milan, the foam-fill parts, the padding in the cushions and the tubular structure are produced with sustainable materials and processes.

“Today, Cassina introduces the new 2 and 3 Fauteuil Grand Confort Durable versions in the hopes that the collection continue to convey the values of innovation, so important to the three authors, and with the understanding that the individual can prosper only in a harmonious relationship with their own environment.”
After making design history, an eco-makeover in 2020 kept faith with the original and with Nature, a constant source of inspiration for the authors of the design.
Based on research by Cassina LAB, eco-compatible polyols were introduced into the foam-filled elements and a PET-based blown fiber integrated into the cushion padding.
