Italian Red ‘Maralunga’ Loveseat by Vico Magistretti for Cassina, 1970s
An Italian ‘Maralunga’ loveseat designed by Vico Magistretti for Cassina in the 1970s. The silhouette sits low to the ground with soft, folded arms and generous seats. An adjustable headrest allows the back to shift from lounge to upright, exemplifying Magistretti’s unpretentious innovation.
“With Maralunga I wanted to design an object that exemplified family-oriented interior design. A warm, relaxing, cozy place, where you feel at ease and rediscover the satisfying, protective embrace of old-fashioned reading chairs placed near a fireplace or a window.” — Vico Magistretti
Vico Magistretti’s collaboration with Cassina stands as one of the defining partnerships of postwar Italian design. Beginning in the 1960s, their work merged Magistretti’s architectural ethos with Cassina’s technical precision—yielding pieces that were both rigorously functional and deeply human.
Designs such as the Maralunga (1973) and Nuvola Rossa (1977) distilled form to its essence, balancing comfort, structure, and innovation. For Magistretti, furniture was architecture scaled to the body, and through Cassina’s craftsmanship, his ideas came to life—enduring symbols of Italian modernism.
