720 Lady

An icon of 1950s’ Italian Design, the armchair-sofa Lady stands out for its extraordinarily contemporary construction, a symbol of innovation supreme, in terms of style, materials, and technology.‎ In addition to being the first armchair to incorporate expanded polyurethane and foam rubber, the armchair’s seat showcased a new system of springing, using reinforced elastic straps to ensure premier comfort; meanwhile the slender, slim-line metal legs showcase the design’s lightness of touch.‎ The structure is contained in the seat, the back, and the arms, the outcome being a veritable masterpiece of Italian furniture design excellence; so much so that Lady was awarded the Gold Medal at the IX Milan Triennale, in 1951.‎ Cassina’s new re-edition focuses on the looks of the Lady chair, adding a delightful range of new fabric options, including a number by Belgian designer Raf Simons.‎ Base · Steel rod frame.‎ Finishing galvanic-plated or lacquered (colors as per price-list).‎ · Feet in black plastic material.‎ Inner structure · Seat/backrest: frame in steel rod with elastic bands.‎ · Armrests: poplar plywood.‎ Padding · Cold moulded polyurethane foam.‎ · Flexible polyurethane foam · Polyester padding with resin along with light velvet.‎ Quilted upholstery: Quilted fabric or quilted leather.‎ The model is also available in an iconic edition with checked black and white upholstery and matte basalt base.‎
