Starting from the hypothesis of an inexpensive, dismantable armchair, it 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. While designing the lounge chair Maggiolina in 1947, Zanuso experimented a brand new construction system conceived for the serial industrial production, giving up the traditional concept of an armchair with frame made with artisan techniques.
