Among the all-time Cassina best-sellers, the Chaise longue à reglage continu is the quintessential chaise longue. Designed in 1928, it was based on a study of restful seating and epitomizes the concept of relaxation. It demonstrates the desire of the three authors to place the individual at the centre of their design project, expressing the absolute dovetailing of form and function by achieving the perfect balance between design purity and user comfort. The recliner’s stability, at any angle of inclination, is ensured through friction with the rubber tubes that sheathe the crosspieces on the base. This model has now been brought back in an all-black version, with black structure, recliner and upholstery.
