The Skin of Our Teeth (La Famiglia Antropus) by Thornton Wilder was one of the first plays staged at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan. On that occasion, Zanuso was commissioned to study the scene and furnishings. Among them was an armchair, then named Antropus, designed thinking of new materials being tested at the time. The architect worked with Arflex to produce an armchair fully upholstered in foam rubber; at the time, this material was considered highly innovative. The present-day version of this chair features polyurethane foam CFC free. This lends itself to creating an oversized and comfortable seat and back-rest that fit snugly into the slender, curving profile of the side panels. Cassina is making this model in an iconic edition with upholstery in Charlot L191.
