Antropus

Antropus was created at the end of the 1940s when Marco Zanuso was commissioned to design the sets for the Italian-language version of Thornton Wilder's play The Skin of Our Teeth, which was dubbed "La Famiglia Antropus" in Italian, and was performed at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan.‎ The architect worked with Arflex to produce an armchair fully upholstered in foam rubber; at the time, this material was considered highly innovative and was being promoted for use in domestic furniture-making for its expressive, and industrial ergonomic potential.‎ The present-day version of this chair features polyurethane foam CFC free.‎ This lends itself to creating a oversized and comfortable seat and back-rest that fit snugly into the slender, curving profile of the side panels.‎ Cassina is making this model available in the original iconic red fabric upholstery.‎A design armchair upholstered entirely in leather or fabric.‎ Added depth lends shape to the comfortable, roomy seat flanked by sensuously curved side panels.‎PADDING Polyurethane foam.‎INTERNAL STRUCTURE Tubular steel frame with elastic webbing.‎UPHOLSTERY Also available, iconic edition upholstered in red wool.‎
