Armchair- chaise lounge "Tuoli" design Antti Nurmesniemi for Cassina with independently adjustable backrest. Supporting structure in polished chrome-plated tubular steel. Polyurethane foam padding. Upholstery in black precious fabric. Excellent state of preservation. Antti Nurmesniemi designed this armchair in the mid-seventies and proposed it for production in 1978 through Vuokko, the Finnish fabric manufacturer. Actually "lounge-chair 002" this was his original name, later renamed Tuoli, it was never put into production. Cassina then understood its design value in the eighties as an authoritative expression of that part of Scandinavian design that results from its interaction with international culture.
