Göteborg 1 chair, ash - grey leather

Cassina's Göteborg chair was designed by Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund in 1983. The chair was designed as a commissioned work for the extension of the Town Hall in Göteborg, Sweden. The ash frame Göteborg chair features a padded seat and a curvy backrest that are upholstered with grey leather. The elegant design of the chair is inspired by both the modernist design of the Bauhaus era and Chair 14, designed by Michael Thonet in 1859. Place the Göteborg chair around your dining table, in the hallway or have it as an accent chair in the living room.

Cassina's Göteborg chair is available in a range of colour and upholstery options.

Cassina is an Italian design brand established in 1927. In the 1950s, Cassina pioneered in launching industrial design in Italy, and today its collections are characterized by combinations of new, technical innovations and traditional craftsmanship. 

The company was founded by brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina in Meda, Northern Italy, where they initially crafted custom-made furniture tailored to the tastes of an affluent clientele. After World War II, their focus shifted from traditional craftsmanship to modern design, inspired in part by architects Franco Albini and Giò Ponti. One of Cassina’s first major successes was the light and elegant Superleggera chair designed by Ponti, which became an icon of modern Italian design.
