The Zig-Zag chair is more than a NEW design:
- It had a radical formulation having no feet, just a base, which was unthinkable for that epoque.
- Although it looks slender and fragile, being quite reduced in size (only W37 D48 H74 cm), it is reinforced by clever joinery, so it is solid, stable, and comfortable.
- Moreover, it is stackable.
- It is multifunctional, can be used as a coffee table or a chair.
In 1973, the Italian producer CASSINA re-launches this model in colored versions as part of a special collection named “I Maestri” (along with other timeless design objects).
Today the Zig-Zag chair is made from slats in solid American cherry or ash tree painted white, red, yellow, blue, or black.
The Zig-Zag designed by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld in 1934 and was quickly declared a design icon, loved until today and included in most sophisticated interior design projects.
