Maggiolina Lounge Chair

Starting from the hypothesis of an inexpensive, dismantlable armchair, the Maggiolina was designed by Marco Zanuso towards the end of the 1940s for a competition held by the MoMA of New York. It had a structure of curved steel tubing from which a burlap ‘bag’ was hung, the ‘pockets’ of which contained two panels of plywood, inserted to support the two padded cushions used as seat and backrest.
