Kanga­roo Chair

The Kanga­roo Chair, designed by Pierre Jean­neret for Cassina, was initially created for the capital city of Chandi­garh. This low armchair, made for the city’s General Hospi­tal Hall but also present in many private houses, is char­ac­ter­ized by its ​“Z” shaped sides, made up of a sequence of three vaguely trian­gu­lar copla­nar elements in conti­nu­ity. The seat and back­rest feature typical Vienna weaving inside the wooden frame. In addi­tion to the historic teak version, the Cassina Research and Devel­op­ment Centre offers three further vari­ants: natural oak and oak stained black, and oak stained dark walnut, produced in the compa­ny’s land­mark carpen­try work­shop. An optional cushion is avail­able for added protec­tion and comfort.

The Kanga­roo chair in teak is avail­able as part of our quick-ship program. Please see the spec sheet to the left for quick-ship details or call 800.886.0867 for more information.
