512 Ombra Armchair Leather

The 512 Ombra Armchair Leather was designed by Charlotte Perriand for the manufacturer Cassina .

Perriand's work is now firmly established among the interior design classics of the 20th century. The desirability of her furniture is linked to its exclusivity: Perriand built her reputation not in mass production but with limited edition designs for particular commissions. Famous for her work alongside Jeanneret and Le Corbusier in the 1920s and 30s, she remained an innovator at heart - this is why her work retains its style and relevance to contemporary lifestyle.

Whatever environment you choose for the 512 Ombra Armchair Leather, this enduring classic is sure to impress; despite being only 65cm high and 70cm wide, it is undoubtedly a statement piece. However, supported on its elegant steel base and with a smooth leather upholstery over its polymer body, it has been chosen by Cassina for use and comfort. It's easy to imagine the 512 Ombra Armchair Leather adding a note of style and distinction to a workplace setting, such as a modern office or a studio. Alternatively, it would make the perfect complement to a modernist interior, perhaps alongside other design classics that nod to Perriand's early work in the age of Art Deco.
