Model 829 reclining lounge chair and matching ottoman designed by Gio Ponti for Cassina in Italy in the 1950s.
The dark stained wood frame features slender and remarkably light lines, characteristic of Gio Ponti's work during this period. Curved armrests frame the upholstered seat and high backrest, whose adjustable reclining mechanism enhances comfort for reading and relaxation.
The ottoman follows the same formal vocabulary with a refined open structure, reinforcing the architectural elegance of the ensemble. Model 829 perfectly illustrates Gio Ponti's pursuit of lightness and modernity in postwar Italian furniture design.
Manufacturer: Cassina, Italy, circa 1955.
