Designed in 1966 by Nicos Zographos, one of the great modernist designers of the 20th century, CH66 gains new life in the Karakter x Cassina collection. Profoundly inspired by the Bauhaus movement, this chair reinterprets the cantilever model, arriving at a more complex structure formed by a double curve between the backrest and the seat, which are made of saddle leather.

“The chair is resilient, elastic, and so light it doesn’t encumber space with its mass. It was the closest I came to a pure and precise kind of chair.” (The Design Art of Nicos Zographos, Peter Bradford, Monacelli Press, 2000).
This is how Nicos Zographos describes CH66: a chair so essential that it is purely functional, yet so ambitious that it reduces the structure to a continuous line of tubular steel.
Profoundly inspired by the Bauhaus movement, this design draws upon the typical cantilever chair and creates a double curve between the backrest and the seat, outlining a profile that appears almost suspended in space.
The result is a rigorous, elegant piece, defined by clean geometries, materials of the highest quality, and precise details. Part of the MoMA permanent collection in New York, the chair is revived in the Karakter x Cassina collection thanks to an in-depth study conducted in collaboration with his daughters, Athena and Fotini Zographos, providing a versatile solution suitable for both residential and contract environments.
