Luigi Caccia Dominioni Set of Six Catilina Chairs in Steel and Fabric Azucena
Located in Montecatini Terme, IT
Set of six Catilina chairs with frame in painted steel, seat top in multi-layered wood, and upholstery-shaped polyurethane cushions covered with red fabric. This iconic seat was designed by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, and produced by Azucena since 1958.

In turn, the chair harks back to medieval thrones...
