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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Trampoline Armchair is constructed with a powder-coated aluminum frame and an interlaced strap seat and back engineered for outdoor durability. Optional cushions are upholstered in weather-resistant fabrics.
Is the Trampoline Armchair suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the chair is designed specifically for outdoor environments. Both the aluminum frame and the strap structure are selected for their resistance to the elements, making it appropriate for terraces, gardens, and covered exterior spaces.
Who is Patricia Urquiola and what is her design philosophy?

Can the Trampoline Armchair be used indoors as well?
While conceived for outdoor living, the chair's refined silhouette and sculptural quality make it equally at home in interior settings such as sunrooms, lofts, or design-forward living spaces where its structural presence reads as art object as much as furniture.

Cassina offers the Trampoline Armchair in a range of frame finishes and strap colorways. Configuration options, including cushion fabrics and frame colors, are best confirmed through a design consultant for current availability.
