Cassina
Kangaroo Armchair
Without Cushion
Price starting from € 2.611,00*
*Price valid for the version with structure in natural oak, seat and backrest in India cane - without cushion (cod. 058 11).
The armchair Kangaroo belongs to the collection Hommage à Pierre Jeannaret, arisen from the combination of European modern ideals and Indian traditional spirit. Faithful copy of the original model designed for Chandigahr’s General Hospital Hall and part of Le Corbusier’s wider project, Kangaroo catches your eye for the use of essential shapes and simple materials. The low seat is marked by the Z-shaped sides consisting of a sequence of three vaguely coplanar triangular elements with no interruptions. The seat and backrest are identified with the typical weaving inside the wooden frame, on which you can lay an optional cushion to give you a more comfort feeling. Thanks to the armchair Kangaroo, Cassina is able to bring new life to a polyvalent style and to alternate inspiration and nostalgia in a unique and valuable piece.

Founded in 1927 by the brothers Cesare and Umberto in the heart of Brianza furniture, Cassina is one of the long-lived Made in Italy industrial design companies. From the early ‘30s, Cassina brothers identified the strong demand for home furnishings and interpreted in a far-sighted way the renewed taste of the new emerging classes. From this intuition, Cassina started a real revolution in the indoor furnishings design. Since then, the company has been pursuing a path of research and innovation, involving prestigious designers and architects in the study of new furnishings models. In the last few years the collaboration with Gio Ponti has begun. Thanks to this partnership were born the 646 chair, known as Leggera, and the subsequent model 699 or Superleggera.Read more
Designed by
Pierre Jeanneret
Pierre Jeanneret (1896-1967) was a Swiss-French architect, cousin of the famous Le Corbusier and a long-time collaborator of his studio. He began to collaborate with him immediately after the end of his studies and together they went through the fruitful period of the birth of the Modern Movement and the creation of some iconic buildings, such as the famous Ville Savoye in Poissy. He had a particularly important role in the design of the furniture signed by the studio, designed in collaboration with Le Corbusier himself and with an equally brilliant young assistant: Charlotte Perriand. These furnishings have been re-edited by Cassina since the 1960s, forming its famous LC collection. After the Second World War he started to work on his own and had the opportunity to collaborate with another great name in French design such as Jean Prouvé. However, it was always thanks to his cousin that he obtained the most important assignment of his life: he supervised the construction of the urban plan of the city of Chandigarh, which involved the construction from scratch of many buildings and furnishings, in search of a sort of "ideal city" . To follow this project closely, he moved to India and spent 15 years there, almost until his death.Read more
