Good afternoon,
Did someone recognized this beautiful chair? Its labeled with Cassina, I think Vico Magistretti designed the chair, can anyone confirm this?
And does anyone know the model name?
Thank you very much,

Have you tried sending an inquiry here? They would know best.

I also came across a nice Cassina book, "Made in Cassina", a few months ago in a nearby library. Maybe a library near you has one.

cdsilva,
I thought you were changing your name to The Grand Inquisitor. I am pleased it suited you. Now on to business.
A basic search of the internet indicates the piece in question is a Vico Magistretti Portovenere side chair for Cassina.
I would hesitate suggesting "reading a book" to anyone incapable of conducting the simplest internet research. Contacting the manufacturer, you must be joking.

Dear Mariekke, don't pay attention to Niceguy, he is not such a nice guy some days.
But his attribution is correct.
Model: Portovenere - Manufacturer: Cassina - Year: 1989
Literature: Vico Magistretti designer by Vanni Pasca Ed. Rizzoli p.52
