Zig Zag

The Cassina Zig Zag chair, designed by Gerrit T. Rietveld, is a revolutionary example of early cantilevered seating. Composed of four wood boards connected end-to-end, this chair defies traditional design by eliminating the typical legs-seat-back structure, instead forming a striking Z-shape. Its minimalist, yet bold form captures the essence of Rietveld’s experimental approach to modern furniture design.
Crafted with exceptional precision, the Zig Zag chair showcases the expertise of Cassina’s carpenters, especially in the flawless execution of its dovetail joints, which enhance both its strength and aesthetic appeal. The open-pore finish, available in a range of colors, highlights the natural grain of the wood, emphasizing the interplay between vertical, oblique, and horizontal lines.
