Ora Ito, Frassino Tinto Nero Ico Chair For Cassina

About the Item

Ora Ito, Frassino Tinto Nero Ico Chair For Cassina The Ico design chair is a clear tribute by designer Ora ïto to the history of Cassina, and especially to the 814 chair designed by architect Ico Parisi in 1950. Versatile and dynamic, its silhouette is immediately recognizable. The aesthetic elegance and comfort of the Ico design chair are fundamental design elements, as emphasized by the pairing of the curved wood to the meticulously tailored upholstery. Part of the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Ico is Cassina’s most complex chair and exemplifies the company’s excellence in the field of carpentry and quality manufacturing, the best of what the Meda area north of Milan can supply. This contemporary design, the outcome of technological innovation backed by fine artisanal skills, starts from a structure in solid ash wood, shaped by state-of-the-art CNC machinery, and then finished by hand by seasoned craftsmen. Among the details worthy of note: the all-wood joints, typical of all Cassina’s products, and the stitching that fulfils both a technical and an aesthetic function. The timeless design of this extremely comfortable chair makes it an ideal choice both in the home and in a contract environment.

A phenomenon in pop culture, he is the youngest designer of his generation to collaborate with various brands of the luxury sector. The multidisciplinary, transversal Ora ïto studio has since gone from telephone to architecture, from furniture to the hotel industry, from perfume to tramways and from flying saucers to restaurants, manipulating symbols to simplify them. A tenacious methodology for which he has invented a neologism: ‘simplexity,’ decoding today’s DNA to conceptualise future mutations. His fluid vocabulary materialises movement reinventing streamlining in the digital era and giving shape to the desires of our contemporary society. In 2013, he created MAMO, an art centre on the roof terrace of the mythical Cité Radieuse designed by Le Corbusier in Marseille.
