About the Designer

Vico Magistretti & the Maralunga: An Icon That Redefined Comfort

Some pieces of furniture become timeless. Others change the course of design history. The Maralunga, designed by Italian architect and designer Vico Magistretti for Cassina in 1973, accomplished both.

At a time when modern furniture often prioritized aesthetics over comfort, Magistretti challenged convention by creating a sofa that embraced both. Its ingenious adjustable backrest—conceived after a simple yet revolutionary idea of inserting a bicycle chain into the structure—allowed users to effortlessly transform the silhouette from low and sculptural to high and supportive. This innovation forever changed the relationship between form and function.

Awarded the prestigious Compasso d'Oro in 1979, the Maralunga quickly established itself as one of the defining icons of 20th-century Italian design. More than five decades later, it remains in continuous production by Cassina, a testament to its enduring relevance and exceptional craftsmanship.

Every authentic Maralunga embodies the values that have made Italian design legendary: uncompromising quality, refined proportions, and an understated elegance that transcends trends.
