LALEGGERA Collection

Riccardo Blumer, 1996

The utmost expression of technology applied to design, LALEGGERA is a chair collection that is the result of the meeting between a traditional material, such as solid wood, and the modern light expanded polyurethane that fills the structure. Its covering in different wood veneers or multilaminar veneer is available may be finished either with transparent varnish finish or lacquer in various colours.
In 1998 Laleggera chair was awarded the ADI Compasso d'Oro prize and in 2009 it became part of the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York, making it a part of the design history.
