Maralunga lounge chairs, original dark purple velvet upholstery. Vico Magistretti, Cassina, 1973.

The backrest can be raised or lowered for total comfort. It won the Compasso d’Oro award in 1979. The Maralunga is characterized by what looks like a slumped backrest but is an adjustable-height headrest, moved by way of a bicycle chain that runs underneath its plush foam cushions. The effect is a chair that serves two functions: It’s both a backdrop for social conversation and a setting for solo relaxation. “My intention with Maralunga was to design an object that represented a whole range of interior architecture with a familiar feel,” Magistretti said of the design. “Two positions, two possible uses, two different ways to create your own space inside a room.” Cassina designed custom-made feet to sit a bit higher and for protection. Can be taken of.
