About
CL9 Ribbon chair designed by Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi, produced by Bernini/Fiarm, also known as ‘the easy chair’. A tubular chromed frame supports one continuous band of molded fiberglass. The seat is highly sculptural, changing shape from different viewpoints. It is attached to the base by means of rubber shock mounts which alongside the cantilevered construction provide a surprising degree of springiness and flex while sitting.
