Zig-Zag Chair - Brown, Cherrywood

The Zig-Zag Chair offers iconic cantilevered design with its distinctive Z-shaped silhouette cut from four flat pieces of cherry wood. The rhythmic arrangement eschews traditional legs-seat-back sequence, while the masterfully executed dove-tail joints ensure structural integrity. Its open-pore finish highlights the natural wood veins on the front and sides, and the solid wood construction provides lasting durability.

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld's 1934 'Zig Zag' chair quickly gained iconic status when it was first released, thanks to it being one of the first examples of a cantilevered solid wood chair. Cut from four flat pieces of cherry wood aligned in a rhythmic arrangement that eschews the traditional legs-seat-back sequence, Rietveld's Z-shape silhouette is masterfully executed by Cassina’s carpenters, who have paid particular attention to the chair's dove-tail joints, as well as the application of an open-pore finish that highlights the veins of the brown wood on the chair's front and sides.
