Tamburound Chair
Made by Cassina
Designed by Barber Osgerby
Designed by London-based studio Barber Osgerby, the Tamburound Chair for Cassina is a study in kinetic geometry. Its cylindrical silhouette is immediately recognizable, disciplined in proportion yet quietly animated by a defining innovation: the seat and backrest rotate independently of one another, encouraging natural movement within a single, resolved form.
The painted steel frame anchors the composition with structural clarity. Removable upholstery in fabric or leather allows the piece to shift in atmosphere without altering its essential character. It is a chair that rewards both stillness and adjustment, and whose identity holds across any context.
