Dining Chair DALILA with armrests black CASSINA

Born from the radical and inexhaustible imagination of Gaetano Pesce, Cassina’s Dalila Chair with Armrests takes the original 1980 proposal even further by adding to the sculptural silhouette that has made its legend an additional dimension of envelopment and presence. In its black hue, it achieves a rarely matched formal intensity: the color absorbs light and accentuates each inflection of its sinuous volumes in flexible polyurethane foam, revealing with particular strength this organic continuity between back, seat and armrests which is the most radical signature of the Pesce project. The armrests are not here an accessory but an achievement, one that closes the form on itself and transforms the chair into a total envelope, a sculptural refuge where the body surrenders with instinctive confidence. The thin black elastomer layer that covers the whole unifies the silhouette into a living monolith, both familiar and strange, whose presence in an interior never goes unnoticed without ever seeking to dominate. As sovereign in a residential living room with assumed contrasts as in a reception area, a prestigious waiting room or an executive office that claims its uniqueness, the Dalila with black armrests stands out as both dark and bright evidence.
