Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Starting in 1928, Charlotte Perriand designed a series of free-form tables for her studio in Montparnasse. With no sharp corners, the rounded and asymmetrical shapes communicate a pioneering elegance and the need for a design that does not dictate to the users but allows them the freedom to negotiate its shape at will. Innovative for the year of its debut in 1952, this “free-form desk”, re-edited by Cassina, conveys its timeless elegance through soft shapes and the warmth of the wood.
Collection: Charlotte Perriand
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Included among the en forme libre tables developed between 1938 and 1939, the final project was conceived in 1952 for the student rooms of the Maison du Mexique at the Cité Universitaire Internationale in Paris. The structure designed to take up as little space as possible provided for the possibility of placing several pieces side by side to create compositions with a wider and more regular shape. In 1952 the author replaced the wooden legs with triangular section legs in folded sheet metal. In 1956 a low version was made for the Galerie Steph Simon in Paris. The high thickness of the wooden top, available both in solid wood and in glossy or matt lacquer, conveys remarkable beauty, while the edges reveal a profile that is functional to the shape and size of the hand. In 2018, two new dining variants are added that allow you to accommodate 5 or 6 diners. New finishes have also been introduced which further increase the combinability and functionality of the tables.
Collection: Franco Albini
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
This table/writing desk, designed by Franco Albini consists of two trapezoidal planes, one smaller than the other, on a single steel support. This balancing act is characterised by the material richness of the planes, which are available in three types of wood, and natural cement, their shape being delineated by a frame. In each version of this piece, one plane is thicker than the other, the higher of the two available with a leather top. This accentuates the tactile and visual qualities of the piece. While the single- leg support might suggest a lack of balance, equilibrium is established using the principle of the Roman balance (stradera, in Italian), a form of weighing scale consisting of a beam with two arms of different lengths, and a counterweight that can be displaced along the graduated, longer arm.
Collection: Franco Albini
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Franco Albini designed this table using the strut element that he had already employed in the design of the Veliero and Infinito bookshelves. In this instance, the legs serve as the vertical elements, solid, turned along their entire surface except for the square section onto which the horizontal table- top is installed. The upturned wooden cones that surmount each leg act as spacers between the cross-beams of the frame and the table-top which, given how light it looks, almost seems to hang suspended in mid-air. The connection between the legs and the cross-pieces is highlighted by visible screws. These remind us that the TL3 table can be disassembled. Cassina’s revisitation of this table, effected in collaboration with the Fondazione Albini, is based on archive drawings and includes the use of a glass table-top so that the impeccable carpentry details can be seen more clearly.
Collection: Kazuhide Takahama
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Kazuhide Takahama’s Antella is a dual-purpose piece: a console that can be transformed into an oval table. The polyester painted frame, with a gloss or matte finish, is evocative of the ancient art of lacquer work, which was used on other products in the SimonCollezione. The two leaves are hinged and, in the console position, are secured using a magnet. Where space is available they can be opened up to form the table. Against the wall, Antella is a console. In the middle of the floor, it becomes a large table.
Collection: Mario Bellini
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
A table with a solid architectural structure that was an example of the new design language that Mario Bellini devised in the 1970s and examined in his Libro dell’Arredamento. In line with this approach, which was based on the primary functions of individual pieces of furniture, where each piece can be recast through a reinterpretation of its traditional form, depending on function, materials and finishes. La Rotonda is one of a series of tables designed in 1976, including La Corte, Il Colonnato, and La Loggia, all of them inspired by primary structures from classical architecture. The outcome was a number of solutions that respond to any need. These masterpieces underscore the close relationship that exists between furniture design and architecture, exemplified in this case in the use of supports such as pillars, all of which testify to Cassina’s peerless mastery in wood-working.
Collection: Vico Magistretti
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Inspired by the ready-made concept, Edison is the table Vico Magistretti designed in 1985 as a tribute to the elegance of industrial design, expressed through the special system of cross-shaped joints used to connect the pipes for gas lamps. A system borrowed by the architect to create the load-bearing structure for the table. Depending on the shape of the table top, the structure changes configuration in order to support the glass, material of choice because it allows the joint system to be visible. Edison is the table Magistretti preferred for the dining room in his own home in Milan and that Cassina relaunches with square, rectangular or round top.
Collection: Piero Lissoni
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Piero Lissoni’s design for this table is based on how light it looks and how strong and solid it really is. The essential lines of the Naan table are accentuated by the supremely slender rectangular top, which comes in at a mere 10 mm, and is available in a range of materials. Options include smoked oak, where the beauty of the wood is brought to bear thanks to a state-of-the-art manufacturing process. Exposed to very high temperatures, the wood becomes resistant to damp, while taking on a darker hue that sets off the natural vein. The wood becomes harder and more compact, while the colour leaches down into the wood, remaining unchanged over time. Cassina’s premier craftsmanship married with its industrial manufacturing prowess come together in a remarkable display of constructional mastery. The availability of extendable table-tops render the piece exceptionally versatile and suited to any setting.
Collection: Charlotte Perriand
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Revolutionary as much as it is quite different from any other in terms of shape and potential, this multifunctional table is a perfect summation of Charlotte Perriand’s take on l’art de vivre. The structure consists of the simple but perfect placement of fourteen staves placed side-by-side, assembled with signature style by Cassina’s carpenters. Each of these elements combines into an extremely elegant, fan-shaped and versatile whole, lending itself to a dynamic and innovative applications whatever the situation. Depending on the choice of width of the central part, Ventaglio can, when used as a dining table, accommodate between five and nine guests. In the office, several people can sit round Ventaglio’s asymmetrical desk-top, with plenty of room for computers and other professional tools.
Collection: Hommage À Pierre Jeanneret
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
The inclusion of the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016 has aroused great interest in Le Corbusier’s Capitol Complex, an extraordinary architectural work created in Chandigarh in 1951 to celebrate the independence of a nation open to modernity. Among the furniture used in the Legislative Assembly building is this large conference table. Almost as if to evoke the solemn functions of the place, this model has a base made up of two important and graphic solid wood elements with a characteristic “corns entrecroisées” shape. In addition to the historic version with teak top and structure, the Cassina re-edition offers two variants in natural and black stained oak and the option of a glass top in different sizes.
Collection: Franco Albini
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
This table, with its minimal lines and an extremely light look, underscores the extensive thought, by Franco Albini, and the advanced wood-working skills, by Cassina, that went into its creation. Its stability based on the principle of opposing forces, the frame looks improvised, volumes and weights having been reduced. Cavalletto, which means trestle in English is assembled using two tensioning rods in burnished brass that also serve for bracing. The intricate construction process, executed by Cassina’s carpenters, illustrates the excellence of the wood-working skills of the craftsmen of Meda. Offering an extremely refined interpretation of form, this vision of elegance shows Cassina’s customary attention to detail extending to the metal parts, not to mention the border trim on the table-top.
Collection: Le Corbusier
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
This small wooden writing desk was designed for the children’s rooms of the Unité d’Habitation in Nantes-Rezé, a comune in the Loire Atlantique département. Le Corbusier’s interest in promoting the harmonious arrangement of people’s individual and collective lives led him to explore spaces and furniture in-depth, with constant reference to the measurements of the human body calculated using his Modulor system. The LC16 Table de travail consists of a shelving unit and a work-surface, both of them in matte natural-stain oak. The piece can be extended by adding fixed shelves to the table feature.
Collection: Rodolfo Dordoni
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
The Sled desk, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, has a versatile personality, which makes it suitable for both the bedroom and the living area of the house, in combination with other furniture from the Cassina collection. The structure is available with a left or right shaped top in black stained oak and a matt black lacquered two-drawer chest with a black stained oak top, which can also be positioned on the left or right. The drawer is equipped with internal tray.
Collection: Hannes Wettstein
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Lines striking and extremely elegant for a table that is designed to bring together places, people, and ideas. Having the legs fit directly into the top means that the wider the legs, the slimmer their profile. The stability of the frame is provided by an internal anchorage mechanism set in the two sides and the top. This table is available in three sizes, and can accommodate up to twelve guests.
Collection: Marcel Breuer
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Delfi forms part of the Ultrarazionale collection, which was launched in 1968, and is composed of sculptural pieces designed by Carlo Scarpa, typified by his signature attention to detail and choice of materials. This table is a re- design of a Rationalist model created by Marcel Breuer in the 1930s for Dino Gavina’s residence in Bologna. At the end of the 1960s, Scarpa began to re- examine the original concept, effecting some variations, in agreement with the designer. In 2009, Tobia Scarpa, Carlo Scarpa’s son, suggested yet another variation: this time, a glass table-top so as to highlight the elegant brass supports and the fluting on the marble bases, the better to see the formal elegance of the piece.
Collection: Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
An extendable table, exemplifying the perfect balance between classic and contemporary, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1905. The unique nature of this natural cherrywood table lies in the mechanism under the table-top that allows the table to be extended, this thanks to the small board located in the middle of the longest side of the top. When the upper table-top is lifted, one or both of the extensions can be added to the table.
Collection: Theodore Waddel
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
This piece is the outcome of Theodore Waddell’s exploration, in 1956, of how to design tables with extremely light frames, and takes its inspiration from the architecture of tensile structures. Waddell studied the systems patented by Buckminster Fuller and, in 1972, created a type of configuration for Cassina where, for the first time ever, it proved possible to create furniture using suspension cables. The frame of these tables consists of six legs, of which three do not touch the floor, but provide support for the glass table- top. Meanwhile, the others touch the floor, but not the table-top. The result, extremely elegant and striking sculptural, is evocative of molecular structure.
Collection: Frank Lloyd Wright

A collection of three low tables, each a different height, made up of a marble base with brushed matte satin finish – available in three types of marble: Carrara, Marquina or Grigio Carnico – a vertical support and a top, the latter made of veneered wood panels in natural oak, black stained oak, canaletto walnut or lacquered finish.
Collection: Charlotte Perriand
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
This low table, with its audacious sculptural look, was designed by Charlotte Perriand on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition of her works held at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1985. Originally intended as a one- off, this was among Perriand’s last works. When it joined the Cassina portfolio, Accordo was only available in a black lacquer finish. Today, as fresh-looking as it was when first launched, the colour options include China red and marron glacé. Placing several of these tables together creates highly impactful geometric compositions that play on their proportions to conjure a unique sense of suspension. These clean-cut and visually dynamic shapes can fulfil a number of interpretations in grand style, enabling the object itself to become a centre of attraction.
Collection: Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
A stool whose architectural shape faithfully reflects the author’s love of conceptual harmony. The first version was designed by Perriand in 1927 for the dining room of her Paris atelier, and was crafted with structure in tubular metal, paired with a woven rattan seat. The current model features a trivalent chrome-plated steel structure that can be personalized with various upholstery options, including cowhide and classic rattan.

Collection: Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret exhibited the first version of this table in 1929 at the Salon d’Automne [Autumn Salon] in Paris as part of the “Équipement Intérieur d’une Habitation” [Interior Home Furnishings] stand. The table, in its original size, which was originally presented as a writing desk, was revisited by Perriand in 1984, and relaunched by Cassina one year later, offering new features to keep pace with contemporary needs. The minimalist design of the frame is revealed in the uniqueness of the chrome finish on the tubular steel uprights and the coloured lacquer finish on the crosspieces. The series includes tables and low tables, in square and rectangular formats, with top in clear, textured or tinted thermoformed glass and painted trim in the various shades of the Le Corbusier colour palette.
Collection: Philippe Starck
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:

Collection: Gianfranco Frattini
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
A collection that became emblematic of the 1960s, an era of optimism and experimentation, when the focus was on unremitting functionality. Designed by Gianfranco Frattini, these four low tables, the smallest being 42 cm in diameter and the largest 61, their heights being similarly graduated, can be stacked to form a sculptural effect reminiscent of a drum. The frames are in beechwood, either in a walnut stain, or in a black lacquer finish. The plastic laminate top is reversible, the underside being lacquered white. Today, as yesterday, this model is a popular choice, the fact that it can be stacked adding to its versatility.
