Feltri Low Armchair by Gaetano Pesce for Cassina

In 1987 Gaetano Pesce designed the amazing armchair Feltri for Cassina.
Feltri was created within Cassina’s Research Centre, a place synonymous with experimentation and constructional avant-garde thinking.
Here, Gaetano Pesce dedicated time and thought to the design, in the process thinking up a complex new manufacturing process that was later patented by the company.
Created entirely from dark brown dense wool felt, the pliable, wrap-around back is all one piece. The lower section, meanwhile, is rigid and sturdy, thanks to being impregnated with a thermosetting resin.
The seat is attached to the frame using hemp ties; these also extend around the chair’s upper part. A comfortable red quilt, coupled with polyester wadding, serves to upholster the inner section of the chair.
This red and brown low chair is in very good used condition.

Seat height is 42 cm.
