Cassina's brand counts nearly a hundred years in business – the company was launched by two brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina in 1927. Cassina has described its distinguished style already in the 1950s with the creative power of the most important Italian designer and architect Gio Ponti, contributing to the post-war design. Research and innovation during the years had led the brand to the point where it is today. Cassina created its identity out of technological focus combined with historic craftsmanship. The success of the brand was created together with the talented designers and architects: Le Corbusier, Wright, Mackintosh, Rietveld, Perriand, Albini, Zanuso, Gaetano Pesce, Philippe Starck, Lissoni, Bellini, Magistretti, and many more.
Product design is an art form
Cassina aims to create furnishing that could belong to any decade – past, present, or future. The distinguished design of the brand is modern, yet with vintage elements, somewhere between the past and the future. The design of each piece is original and unique, the products are manufactured using the latest technologies. The company is driven by passion and curiosity, its approach to the product design is open and authentic, resulting in pieces of excellent quality and extraordinary style.
The company’s focus on sustainability is perfectly represented in the I Maestri LC3 Fauteuil Grand Confort Durable collection. The legendary LC3 armchair is a timeless design piece of perfect quality that does not follow temporary trends and fashion and will be passed on from generation to generation. This is how Cassina understands respect for the environment and responsible consumption. Moreover, eco-compatible polyols obtained from bio-renewable sources have been integrated into foamed elements and the blown fiber which is 100% recycled. Another example of what means timeless in Cassina is the 875 armchair. The piece was designed in 1960 by Ico Parisi for Cassina. It is classic and modern simultaneously, perfectly describing the company’s timeless style between the past and the future.
