Cassina, famous for Cassina Sofa, is the premier Italian furniture maker, and the only manufacturer of authentic Le Corbusier furniture. Since its founding, Cassina has built its reputation on quality, integrity of design, and customer service. Cassina’s state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities successfully combine the traditions of old world craftsmanship and modern technology.
Around the world, the name Cassina is spontaneously associated with Italian design. In the mid-1950s, Cassina traveled to Paris and obtained the rights to manufacture world-renowned architect Le Corbusier’s collection. With the success of the Corbusier license, Cassina embarked upon a larger program, The Cassina Masters Collection, which today includes work from the major icons of design.
Cassina works industrially in the contemporary furnishing sector.
It produces chairs, tables, armchairs, beds, and furniture in general with a particular flair for upholstered items and work in wood, leather and other top-quality materials.
The Cassina collection is eclectic, and has always been so. It is open to design projects from varying cultures and historical backgrounds, it welcomes them and makes them its own, stamping them with its own personality, its own trademark. Products from the Cassina collection hark back to different inspirations, sometimes even contradictory. But a common feature is revealed; the courage to seek quality across different types and languages, quality that has made the Cassina product a point of reference for the international culture of design.
To produce its furniture, Cassina has entrusted the intelligence, the hopes, the fears, and the genius of the most famous architects and designers of the 20th century; it is a courage and a challenge from which excellent results have derived.
The company’s transformation was bolstered further by a large number of commissions for cruise ships, top end hotels and restaurants which accounted for a great part of the company’s activity right up to the mid-sixties and beyond.
The Cassina contemporary furniture collection is equally renowned and includes original designer furniture by Philippe Starck, Piero Lissoni, and other world famous architects and designers. Many popular products are available through our USA Cassina Quick program.
