Kangaroo lounge chair, black stained oak - Vienna cane

Cassina's Kangaroo is a bold yet effortlessly elegant lounge chair that consists of a simple, appealing and well-known shape. In the 1950s, designer Pierre Jeanneret teamed up with his cousin Le Corbusier on several architectural projects for public spaces in Chandigarh. The Kangaroo lounge chair, which is made up of three flat elements, was also born as part of the project. A woven cane seat adds a light, natural contrast, softening the geometric structure and bringing a warm, organic touch to the design. The Kangaroo lounge chair is a true design icon that fits well for living rooms, lounges and reading nooks, both in the home and public spaces.

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.
