For the contract world, Giulio Cappellini was inspired by new generations and their neo-nomadism in this series of modular seating system with a 75 cm depth, offering the possibility to create different compositions fitting large reception spaces. The padded system comprises sofas, end pieces, central and double sided, angular and beanbags with backrests, armrests available in two different heights. Covers are available with fabrics from the collection other than leather, suede and stretch fabric warp-knit patented Sensitive(r) Fabrics made by Eurojersey.

Armchair with steel supporting frame. Polyurethane foam and polyester padding. Feet in black plastic material. Upholstery in a wide and renewed range of fabrics in different colours or in leather with fine stitching available in two versions (blanket stitch or zig zag) with thread in five shades. The Utrecht armchair expands its options The separation of structural elements and the study of new materials and shapes can also be identified in the Utrecht armchair produced exclusively by Cassina since 1988. Initially designed in 1935 for the Metz&co department store for widespread distribution, this piece represents the Rietveld’s decision to adopt a more ‘market-oriented’ approach to comfort and relaxation. As part of the MutAzioni project, Cassina continues in this direction, responding to the growing need to satisfy individual preferences and customised projects, by introducing an additional zig-zag stitch, five new colour options for the thread, and a wide range of contemporary fabrics. Two new sizes have also been introduced: the Utrecht XL armchair, an anthropometric response to the increasing proportions of today’s generations, and the Baby Utrecht, a 30% smaller version ergonomically adapted for 3 to 8 years olds as a tribute to the numerous projects Rietveld dedicated to children.
