Dining Chair DALILA Black CASSINA

Born from the radical and inexhaustible imagination of Gaetano Pesce, the Chair Dalila by Cassina is one of those pieces that categorically refuse to age. Reissued faithfully inspired by the original models of 1980, it returns in an interior version that preserves intact the subversive spirit of its creator while fitting into today’s interiors with a disconcerting evidence. In its black hue, it takes the sculptural statement that characterizes it even further: color absorbs light, accentuating every hollow and bulge of its sinuous volumes in flexible polyurethane foam, revealing with a particular intensity the formal complexity of a silhouette that one believes simple at first glance and that one discovers infinitely richer as one approaches it. The thin elastomer layer that covers the whole gives the seat a welcoming softness that is always surprising, as the monolithic aspect of the room leaves little promise of comfort. As sovereign in a residential living room with assumed design references as in a reception area, a prestigious waiting room or an interior that cultivates the contrast between the rigor of materials and the freedom of forms, The black Delilah effortlessly asserts itself as the focal point around which everything else is silent. Choosing the black Dalila chair is fully assuming the heritage of a designer who has never asked for permission.
