Designer Profile
Charlotte Perriand
Charlotte Perriand was a fiercely independent designer well before it was permitted to be so. Despite the pushbacks of her male colleagues, she pioneered an unwavering series of modernist designs, often looking to nature and Asiatic culture for inspiration. They include iconic styles like the LC7 Armchair, Mexique Desk and the Table En Forme Libre — sinuous examples of style today faithfully issued by Cassina.
Brand Profile
Cassina
A blend of traditional skills and superior productivity, meticulous attention to details and of course, passion culminate to create Cassina. A brand that has had the design at its core with a mission to create and innovate modern icons since 1927. A true trailblazer in furniture design, Cassina combines technology and long-standing artisan craftsmanship to remain at the forefront of the industry. Their legacy has been noticed by some of the worlds most renowned designers such as Gio Ponti, Franco Albini and Gerrit Thomas Rietvel who have all created iconic designs for the brand. The layers of history combine to create the fully formed Italian Made brand Cassina.
