Kangaroo Armchair - Black

The Kangaroo armchair features a distinctive Z-shaped profile formed by three triangular coplanar elements linked together. Its black stained oak frame provides structural integrity, while Indian cane stretched across both the back and seat offers natural comfort and breathability. The low-profile design combines essential forms with simple materials, and the cane weaving adds traditional craftsmanship to the piece.

Further to Cassina's exploration of the furniture of Chandigarh, the 'Kangaroo' chair is added to the brand's 'Hommage à Pierre Jeanneret' collection — a series of items born from research into Le Corbusier's expansive capitol complex project. Balancing modern European ideals and a traditional Indian spirit, the low chair is characterised by a 'Z' shaped profile, the sum of three almost triangular coplanar elements that are linked together. With Indian cane stretched across both the back and seat of the black stained oak chair, 'Kangaroo' is an embodiment of the easy marriage between essential forms and simple materials that has come to define the furniture associated with the project.
