Lierna (seating)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lierna is a chair by the Italian designers Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni . The Lierna chair is considered one of the great masterpieces of Italian design and the first example of a new era. It was designed in 1958 and named after the village of Lierna on Lake Como. When designing the chair, the designers took up proven forms of the fin de siècle and the Arts and Crafts movement and reinterpreted them. The graceful chair with a high, upright backrest is made of solid wood with a colored finish and a plywood seat padded with foam and covered with leather . The designers conceived the chair for a modern dining table.

The Lierna chair has been shown in furniture design exhibitions in the past, including a retrospective of Italian furniture art in 1980 in the Cologne City Museum or at Dino Gavina. Lampi di design - Exhibition 2010 at the Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna .

The Lierna chair was manufactured by the Italian furniture manufacturer Cassina and sold from 1960 to 1969 through the Italian furniture designer and entrepreneur Dino Gavina. The renowned Italian commercial artist Heinz Waibl designed a sales poster in 1961 for marketing purposes .

Since 2014, the successful chair model has again been produced by Meritalia in different colors and was presented at the Salone del Mobile International Furniture Fair in Milan .
