Antonio Citterio Esosoft Armchair

About the Item

Antonio Citterio Esosoft Armchair For Cassina A small armchair that conveys warmth and comfort through carefully curated fine craftsmanship details. In this creation by Antonio Citterio, a tubular steel base opens up into a slender, sophisticated structure upon which the fabric-upholstered padded shell rests, as if floating on air. Leather upholstery with hand-stitched legs and armrests makes this creation a perfect example of Cassina’s attention to detail. The backrest, folded back onto the structure, produces an additional, more casual seating element, while the exposed screws on the legs, distinctive trait of the Esosoft family, allow for easy disassembly of the base. Esosoft was developed with a keen eye to sustainability, employing circular materials, like polyurethane with a percentage of polyols derived from biological sources, and recycled PET wadding in the padding, while the base can be completely disassembled. STRUCTURE Metal with elastic webbing, legs in cast aluminium mirror-polished or matte anthracite epoxy powder-coat finish, adjustable aluminium feet, mirror-polished or matte anthracite epoxy powder-coat finish. BASE Rectangular tubular metal with matte anthracite epoxy powder-coat finish; cylindrical tubular extruded aluminium, mirror-polished or matte anthracite epoxy powder-coat finish, with armrest in cylindrical tubular aluminium clad in hand-stitched leather, available in 6 colours. PADDING Polyurethane foam with a percentage of polyols derived from biological sources, covered in recycled PET wadding, removable fabric upholstery As if floating above the exoskeleton of the structure, a soft padded shell, upholstered in fabric, creates a roomy welcoming seat with a uniquely sinuous design. The Esosoft armchair is informed by the timeless creativity of architect and designer Antonio Citterio and enters into dialogue with the other furniture in the collection. The particular curve of the backrest, which embraces the slender structure, lends shape to the back for an additional casual, light-hearted support upon which to perch. The exacting attention to detail that showcases the excellence of Cassina products is highlighted in the leather-clad armrests embellished with hand-stitching that makes the armchair even more elegant and inviting. The Esosoft Armchair was designed with a focus on sustainability, utilising circular materials like polyurethane with a percentage of polyols derived from biological sources and recycled PET wadding in the padding. The base can be completely disassembled to facilitate recovery of the materials at the end of its life-cycle.

From 1972 to 1981, after graduating from the Milan Polytechnic, Citterio worked primarily in the field of industrial design in collaboration with Paolo Nava. At the same time, he also pursued his own work in both architecture and interior design. Between 1986 and 1996, he worked alongside his wife, architect Terry Dwan, designing buildings in Europe and Japan. In 1987 and 1994, Antonio Citterio received the Compasso d’Oro-ADI award. In 2000, he founded “Antonio Citterio and Partners”, an architecture and interior design practice, actively developing projects across the globe and embracing all scales of intervention to develop complex design projects in synergy with a qualified network of consultancy specialists. In 2010, the practice changed its name to “Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners”. Today the practice is known as “ACPV Architects Antonio Cittterio Patricia Viel” and is led by Citterio, Viel and eight partners. From 2006 to 2016, Antonio Citterio was professor of Architectural Design at the Mendrisio Academy of Architecture (Switzerland). In 2008, he was honored with the title of “Royal Designer for Industry” by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce of London. In 2017, at Casa Artusi, he was awarded the “Premio Artusi”, important annual recognition of those who leave an indelible mark on the relationship between mankind and food. In addition to his constant work in architecture, Antonio Citterio continues his long-standing activity in the industrial design sector working in collaboration with Italian and international companies. Some of his works are part of exhibitions at MoMA in New York and at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris. In 2021, with ACPV Antonio Citterio produced “The Importance of Being an Architect”, a documentary film conceived as a virtual dialogue and musical journey in four acts that investigates the responsibility of architects in building the society of tomorrow. The film has been featured in several festivals worldwide and on the TV channel Sky Arte.
