Designed in 1935, the Utrecht armchair is a design classic, perfectly symbolising the work of Gerrit Thomas Rietveld with its elementary geometric forms. Fully upholstered, it is an armchair that goes back to basics, with the only aesthetic detail being the stitching that enhances the lines of the seat. Reissued by Cassina, Utrecht is made up of a steel supporting structure, padded with polyurethane foam and polyester wadding. This low armchair fits easily into any interior thanks to its reduced proportions and its design that has been handed down through the generations.

Founded by Cesare and Umberto Cassina in Meda, near Milan, in 1927, Cassina produces designer chairs, tables, armchairs, sofas, beds, wardrobes and shelves. Cassina produces high-quality furniture inspired by industrial Italian design.
Cassina was one of the first designer furniture companies to encourage architects and designers, such as Le Corbusier, to design new lines and translate their inspirations into reality, in the midst of a rich and complex era. Cassina has worked to convince designers and architects to explore new ways of expressing forms and working with materials, in order to make their visions reality and create unique designer furniture.
