Superleggera Chair in ashwood and India cane seat. An icon of design and what has been dubbed MedaMade crafts mastery, the Leggera – its lines clean-cut refined, and versatile –adapts effortlessly to a variety of requirements and settings. It is now available in the normal version as well as in the one with armrests.

A wood chair par excellence, the Leggera marks one of the key points of the relationship, both in terms of design and production, which started in the 1950s between Gio Ponti, Cesare Cassina, and the Cassina company’s artisans. The experience and the craft's capabilities of Cassina’s carpenters were tested in addressing the challenge of lightening the chair frame – the ultimate outcome being the inimitable slimline Superleggera chair – concentrating on its essential lines while respecting its resistance and stability.

The many combinations and contrasts in colour between the ashwood frame and the seat-cover keep the Leggera constantly up-to-date, making it a perfect partner for any setting.
