Willow 1 seat by Cassina
High-backed seat, made of black stained ash, with upholstered seat covered in velvet in 2 colors.
Details and Measures
Willow 1 is the high-backed seat designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1904 and produced by Cassina. Scotland, Japan and Art Noveau come together in the work of the Scottish designer, a true forerunner of the Modernist movement. In a Scotland in the flower of industrial development, Mackintosh promotes a daily art, designed for an increasingly large but never massified audience, taken in all its facets and needs. The Scottish gothic taste, with its vertical lines, blends with the industrial needs of reproducibility and simplicity of assembly, to which Mackintosh adds a particular oriental taste, drawing on Japanese art. This contamination, due to the softening of the totalitarian Japanese regime at the beginning of the 20th century and the consequent diffusion of Japanese products in the major world ports, will be decisive for the development of the Mackintosh style, of which the Willow 1 chair becomes the absolute protagonist . The extremely high backrest, characterized by horizontal and intertwined lines, thin and clean, dominates the space, while the comfortable padded seat and upholstered in velvet, available in 2 colors, strongly recalls the neoclassical style in which the Scottish designer was formed. An iconic and absolutely distinctive product that Cassina proposes made of black stained ash wood.
