A tribute to
Pierre Jeanneret, the
Kangaroo armchairwas created for the reception room of the general hospital in the city of Chandigarh. It is distinguished by essential shapes and simple materials, a balance between modern European ideals and a traditional Indian spirit. The low seat of the
058 Kangaroo armchairfrom
Cassina is characterised by the "Z" shape of its sides. The latter are composed of a sequence of three coplanar, vaguely triangular, elements placed in continuity. The seat and backrest showcases traditional caning within a solid wood frame. The edition from
Cassina's Research and Development Centre proposes for the
Kangaroo armchair, in addition to the historic teak version, two variants in natural oak and black-stained oak, made by the company's historic joinery. An optional cushion is available to provide better protection and comfort.
