Once assumed to be by Gio Ponti alone it is now accepted it was designed by the Cassina Technical Group, one of whom would likely have been Ponti. His influence is clearly seen in the chairs 'Ears' and overall form, bearing undeniable similarities to an armchair Ponti designed for in the 1950s. Ponti did several chair designs for Cassina over his career.
