Pair of vintage armchairs "Aeo" by Paolo Deganello for Cassina, 1973

’Aeo’ chair by Paolo Deganello for Cassina. Comfortable Model AEO lounge chair by Paolo Deganello was designed in 1973. It has a brown leather seat and a leather brown back. This is a version with an armrest and is no longer in production. As seen in the last pictures, we have different colorways of this iconic design available. The AEO chair was the last product from the Archizoom group and was designed by Paolo Deganello in 1973 as an unconventional interpretation of a contemporary armchair. Using experimental materials, the piece was originally available for self-assembly. A wide array of upholstery options were on offer, which enhanced the chair’s potential for personalization. The quintessence of functionality and versatility, AEO is thus typical of a Cassina piece, since it can be taken apart and washed, while being light and comfortable, the perfect partner for any space and style.
