Marco Zanuso’s discovery of the support structures on which the seat would be anchored dates back to 1949, when he designed an armchair for MoMA’s international design competition in New York.
Starting with a matrix based on the geometry of the circle, in 1964 Zanuso designed the Woodline armchair with a wooden frame that gives the structure a formal shape. Woodline has a removable cushion held in place by snaps and is upholstered in leather or fabric. The iconic Cassina version features a structure made of walnut stained walnut, a natural calfskin panel and tobacco-colored leather cushions.
