The Feltri armchair, an ironic take on the royal throne, has always represented a melding of art and functionality and over the years the piece has become an established icon and a mainstay of modern art and contemporary design collectables.
Designed by Gaetano Pesce for Cassina in 1987, this limited edition has been upholstered with one-of-a-kind, vintage American quilts dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries selected by Raf Simons for CALVIN KLEIN for a collection of 100 unique pieces.
These heirloom artifacts are emblematic of both American cultural heritage and the value of pieces of days gone by, in particular through their aged aspect that adds value to the project.
As a youth Gaetano Pesce spent a lot of his time at the Cassina Research & Development Centre. Many innovations emerged from this hive of experimentation, including the Feltri armchair made entirely from thick wool felt. Created using a patented production technique, the armchair’s backrest is soft and enveloping while its lower part, infused with thermosetting resin, is firm and durable. The Feltri armchair is still today a symbol of cutting edge design.
