Ultraleggera Chair
Playing with lightness
ULTRALEGGERA is a manifesto chair. Its final form and properties, implied by monomateriality, are like a lens concentrating complex issues from the fields of ecology, technology and economics.
When Cassina began producing the Superleggera chair designed by Gio Ponti in 1957, experiments with strength and lightness of structure belonged primarily to the world of architecture. In their projects, such creators as Buckminster Fuller and Jean Prouvé raised the idea of the primacy of construction quality over form. In 2019, Oskar Zięta decided to face the challenge of lightness again in the design of a functional product. The result of his research is Ultraleggera, a chair that amazes with its featherweight and attracts with its charm.
