Pamono Soriana Chair by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Cassina, 1970s Hot

The shape is soft and enveloping, with generous, low contours that invite you to sink into a relaxing embrace. The seat and backrest are wide and rounded, padded with polyurethane foam and Dacron fiber for absolute comfort without structural rigidity. Smooth, glossy black leather covers the entire surface, while the natural folds of the material create a fluid, organic, almost sculptural effect. The distinctive element is the external chromed steel structure, a sort of metal “cage” that frames and defines the otherwise amorphous shape of the armchair: polished, curved tubes form the armrests and side supports, terminating in straps or brackets that secure the upholstery, lending a modern, industrial touch. The base is in black lacquered beech, with two front spherical wheels to facilitate movement and two rear plastic feet, making it practical despite its iconic design. They are perfect pieces for a contemporary living room or an executive office, where they combine functionality, history of design and an invitation to total relaxation.
