When it comes to combining elegance, innovation, and minimalism, few pieces rival the Leggera Chair, designed by renowned Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti in 1951. With its name meaning "light" in Italian, the Leggera is not just visually light — it is physically light as well, making it one of the most celebrated chairs of mid-century modern design.
A Design That Defies Gravity
Originally produced by Cassina, the Leggera was the evolution of Ponti’s earlier Superleggera concept — a chair so light, it could be lifted with a single finger. This elegant chair features tapered legs, a refined wood frame, and a woven seat that reflects traditional Italian craftsmanship with a modern, architectural edge.
The Leggera’s distinctive form and engineering make it timelessly stylish while retaining practical functionality, ideal for homes, cafés, and boutique spaces that want a touch of Milanese charm.
Light, Elegant, and Perfect for Singapore Interiors
The Leggera Chair's slender profile makes it ideal for compact city living, without sacrificing aesthetic sophistication. It’s an exceptional choice for dining areas, study spaces, or anywhere a minimalist design is appreciated. Its lightweight construction also makes it easy to move and adapt to various settings — from the home office to the balcony.
For Singapore homeowners who love iconic European design but also value space and practicality, the Leggera Chair is a beautiful marriage of form and function.
