INSPIRED BY ORIGAMI
With the Ombra Tokyo chair, Charlotte Perriand has created an iconic piece of great visual appeal and refined elegance, created from a single sheet of oak plywood, cut, folded and curled to evoke the Japanese origami tradition. This chair was first shown in 1953; its slim-line seat was an absolute first.
Stackable, lightweight and functional, the Ombra Tokyo chair is a perfect synthesis of gesture, form and technology, perfectly expressing Perriand’s sense of design. The structural techniques applied by Cassina shape the material, fully respecting the original design and its timeless personality.
