The Downtown armchair is available in the following models: President, Executive, Managerial, and Meeting. The upholstery, enhanced with tone-on-tone or contrasting stitching, is made of Pelle Frau®, also available in a version with micro-perforations on the inner surface of the seat, backrest, armrests, and cushion. The base, made of glossy aluminum or black-painted aluminum, consists of five spokes equipped with soft self-braking "W" swivel casters that adapt to all types of flooring. The Downtown armchairs are height-adjustable and rotate on their axis by pulling the lever under the seat on the right-hand side. The President, Executive, and Managerial versions feature a "Syncron" tilting mechanism for the backrest and seat, which allows the chair to follow the body's movements easily, ensuring exceptional comfort. The chair mechanism has the option to lock in four positions. Downtown Meeting can rotate on its axis thanks to a thrust bearing.

Designed by
Jean-Marie Massaud

Born in Toulouse in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated in 1990 from Les Ateliers, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris. He began to work both in Asia and in France, finally opening his own office in Paris in 1994. Since than, he has dedicated himself to industrial and furniture design, building important relationships with brands such as Authentics, Baccarat and Magis. His collaboration with Marc Berthier and his work in the field of town planning led him towards design and architecture. He is concerned with design in various contexts, industrial products and furniture. His contextual approach centres on research into the essential, within which the individual remains the centre of attention. It is a work upheld by research into the senses, magic, and vital emotion which brings him to work with very different brands: Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Cacharel, Lancôme, Tronconi and Yamaha offshore.

His works have been awarded several prizes and many of his designs are nowadays on show in the design collections of the major museums worldwide: from Amsterdam, Chicago, London, Paris and Zurich: from the permanent collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne de Paris to the permanent collections of the Museum für Gestaltung, Zürich, of The Chicago Athenaeum- Museum of Architecture and Design, of The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and of The Musée des arts Décoratifs, Paris.
