We bring you an assortment of trendy seaters crafted by design greats that will never go out of style, showcased at Salone del Mobile 2015. 1. Cassina Designed by Michele De Lucchi along with the UniCredit Pavilion, 298 seater is a modern take on the classic film director’s chair. Its natural beechwood frame is fitted with a folding mechanism for portability. Website: www.micheledelucchi.com2.
