About the Item

Design Toshiyuki Kita Dodo Chair For Cassina The versatile Dodo recliner converts from a reading chair to a chaise longue, conveniently catering to contemporary needs, like home office and home theater Thanks to its generous padding, the Dodo armchair with footrest conforms to the shape of the body, and it gets even better with the addition of fabric cushions for a deeper sense of comfort. Dodo is one of Cassina’s swivel armchair models. It reclines to nearly horizontal and can be customized with non-removable upholstery in leather or fabric and fabric cushions. PADDING Polyurethane foam and polyester batting. STRUCTURE Frame in tubular steel, seat and backrest in elastic webbing. SWIVEL BASE Tubular steel, nickel-plated satin finish. An armchair that anticipates modern times: flexible, transformable and suitable for different needs. The swivel seat on a fixed base is characterized by multiple inclinations until it extends almost completely to be used as a bed. Personalized with a fixed cover in leather or fabric, it is completed with any fabric cushions that enhance the feeling of comfort and softness.
