Marzio Cecchi for Most, 'Balestra' armchair and ottoman, Italy, 1968. Modern Balestra lounge armchair and ottoman with steel springs, designed by Florentine architect Marzio Cecchi in 1968 and produced by Cecchi's Studio Most. The seat has a playful design, composed of cylindrical cushions arranged in a row. The frame consists of just two lines, which begin as the armrests, descend and flow into the legs, and then rise back up to the seat. Since the backrest is not directly supported, the chair can be reclined for added comfort. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
