Dining Chair CH66 Black Leather KARAKTER X CASSINA

Designed in 1966 by Nicos Zographos and reissued by Karakter in collaboration with Cassina, the CH66 black leather chair is a lesson in modernist design whose relevance has not aged. A direct heir to the Bauhaus spirit, she revisits the cantilever model with a constructive intelligence that immediately distinguishes her from her contemporaries: the double curve between the backrest and the seat, both in saddlery leather, gives the structure a formal complexity that the eye perceives as obvious, as the balance between tension and fluidity seems natural. The black leather completes the whole with an absolute sobriety, this timeless elegance that crosses interiors and eras without ever asking to be justified. Just as right around a carefully composed dining room table as in an executive office, a reception area or a residential interior that fully embraces its modernist references, the CH66 imposes its presence by the mere strength of its lines. Nearly six decades after its creation, it continues to ask the same question with the same acuity: what does a chair look like when you reduce it to the essentials. And to answer it with disarming clarity.
