Zig-zag Cherrywood Chair In Brown

Zig-Zag cherrywood chair from Cassina featuring brown, smooth grain, polished finish, cherrywood and zigzag design.

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld's 1934 'Zig Zag' chair quickly gained iconic status when it was first released, thanks to it being one of the first examples of a cantilevered solid wood chair. Cut from four flat pieces of cherry wood aligned in a rhythmic arrangement that eschews the traditional legs-seat-back sequence, Rietveld's Z-shape silhouette is masterfully executed by Cassina’s carpenters, who have paid particular attention to the chair's dove-tail joints, as well as the application of an open-pore finish that highlights the veins of the brown wood on the chair's front and sides.
