Originally designed by Piero Lissoni in 1996, the Classica chair re-enters the Cappellini catalog in a revised version: compared to its ancestor, this model features a more massive and imposing structure, but an equal aesthetic lightness.
The Classica chair, available with or without armrests, is made of solid cherry or ash wood in oak-stained, black-stained or red-stained finish; the seat features a fixed upholstery in a selection of fabrics and leathers from the collection.

Italian Piero Lissoni is a designer and architect with a degree from the Polytechnico of Milan. In 1986 Lissoni founded the Studio Lissoni. Since then Piero Lissoni has worked with a dense list of design brands, such as Boffi, Cassina, Kartell, Living Divani and Flos on a wide diversity of designs of furniture and lighting.
Lissonis's projects are often total designs, i.e. full-scale interiors and architecture of hotels, offices and showrooms, yachts and private homes. He's inspired by many different elements but also designers such as Danish Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjærholm.
Piero Lissoni's design principle is never to design for a specific function or purpose - but to design for human beings.
