Avant-garde, authentic, and focused on excellence, uniting technology and local, manual knowhow: Cassina was founded on shared, solid values determined to express the best Italian and international design has to offer through a coherent, recognisable, and cultured language. Cassina’s peculiar intertwining of words and actions has allowed it to cultivate relationships between culture, craftsmanship and industry, reconcile memory and research, rigour and emotion, uniqueness and experimentation, and interpret daily trends with constant effort dedicated to aesthetics and typology.

For over 90 years, Meda’s pioneering, free-spirited company has been ahead of its time, walking an unknown path, with intuition or perhaps foresight, through the design and interior design worlds. Cassina, in fact, moved from artisan to industrial production in the 50’s, and was the first company to involve some of the most renowned designers and architects in its narration, inviting in new shapes, references and influences from contemporary design. Cassina brings innovation in every step of the design process, defining novel building solutions and dreaming up prospective possibilities for...

While the designs and functional concepts have been precisely preserved, the models have been manufactured using evolved technology. This is also the company that has manufactured iconic pieces of contemporary design from the 50’s to the present day, ideated by some of the most important international designers, including Gaetano Pesce, Piero Lissoni, Rodolfo Dordoni, Philippe Starck, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, and the company’s current art director, Patricia Urquiola. Today Cassina continues to look to the future of design with audacious, passionate curiosity and an open, holistic approach....

FREE FLOW A rarefied atmosphere of exposed cement gives a home, made for sharing, a poetic touch; the horizontal layout gives fluid progression to the spaces. The colour palette and exceptional, authentic materials, like fullgrain leather, prestigious wood, and smooth, compact, glossy velvet, pose in counterpoint to the sculptural elements of the architecture. The furnishings, whether on their own or as a whole, make the scene proportionally complete.

Tre pezzi Franco Albini—Franca Helg 1959/2009 Collezione “Cassina iMaestri”, s/p 157 In 1959, working with Franca Helg, his long-time assistant, Franco Albini designed Tre Pezzi, a contemporary restatement of the classic bergère chair. The chair is composed of a deep curved seat, a ring-shaped back rest and a half-moon head-rest, each of these geometric shapes standing out independently. Wide and welcoming, the upholstered sections combine cleancut lines with total comfort. The tubular metal frame is cued on scaffolding poles, while the sideways curve of the armrests recalls the handrails...

ENG He was a major figure in the Rationalist Movement, excelling in architectural, furniture, industrial and museum design. After receiving a degree in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1929, he worked with the Ponti and Lancia design studios. His work for the magazine Casabella played a key part in his deavelopment, marking his conversion to the Rationalist Movement and his becoming its spokesman. In all his work, from home furnishings to industrial and museum design projects, Franco Albini always instilled a logical consistency, an extreme purity of expression and exceptional...

LC4/LC4 Noire Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, 1929/1965 Collezione "Cassina iMaestri", s/p 155 One of Cassina’s worldwide best-sellers, the LC4 is the quintessential chaise longue, designed in 1928, and based on an in-depth exploration of reclining chairs. The three designers devised the LC4 as an expression of the concept of relaxation, with a focus on the human figure, the link between form and function being reflected in the balance between geometric purity and ergonomic intent. The stability of the lounger, whatever the angle of inclination, is provided by the rubber...

LE CORBUSIER PIERRE JEANNERET CHARLOTTE PERRIAND ENG In 1922, Le Corbusier began working in the new rue de Sevres atelier with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret with whom he shared research projects and design criteria in a profound professional relationship. In October 1927, the pair decided to draw on the contribution of a young architect who had already begun to establish a reputation on the architectural scene of the time: Charlotte Perriand. Their collaboration lasted through to 1937 and was extremely fruitful, especially in the field of furniture design. The partnership was highly...
