Trampoline Armchair
Made by Cassina
Designed by Patricia Urquiola
Patricia Urquiola approaches structure as a kind of poetry. The Trampoline Armchair draws its name and its logic from tension: a web of interlaced straps is stretched taut across a powder-coated aluminum frame, creating a seat that reads as almost weightless, as though it were suspended rather than supported.
The reference points are deliberate. Urquiola pulls from athletic apparatus and artisanal weaving in equal measure, finding common ground in the precision each demands. The form is rigorous, yet it carries a distinct warmth, a quality that has defined her work across two decades of collaboration with Cassina.
- Interlaced strap seat and back construction
- Powder-coated aluminum frame engineered for outdoor conditions
- Optional cushioning that introduces softness without softening the design's essential character
- Conceived as part of Cassina's broader commitment to outdoor living as a considered discipline
The contrast between the taut strap network and the optional cushion is entirely intentional. Comfort, here, is arrived at through precision rather than excess.
