Cadrega is a minimal chair created by Italy-based designer Claudio Cappellini. Cadrega represents minimalist design through its cast bronze construction. Its surface features a unique polychrome effect created by visible welding, enhancing the contemporary aesthetic of this double seat. This design plays with visual and tactile contrasts, providing a modern take on the traditional ‘vis à vis’ seating arrangement. The production of Cadrega4two combines the ancient technique of sand casting with modern design principles. This process, which remains highly manual, transforms raw bronze into a singular piece of art. The careful craftsmanship ensures that each seat is not only functional but also a distinctive artistic statement. By merging age-old techniques with contemporary design, Cadrega4two exemplifies the evolution of material transformation in furniture design.
