Cassina
Founded in 1927 by the brothers Cesare and Umberto in the heart of Brianza furniture, Cassina is one of the long-lived Made in Italy industrial design companies. From the early ‘30s, Cassina brothers identified the strong demand for home furnishings and interpreted in a far-sighted way the renewed taste of the new emerging classes. From this intuition, Cassina started a real revolution in the indoor furnishings design. Since then, the company has been pursuing a path of research and innovation, involving prestigious designers and architects in the study of new furnishings models. In the last few years the collaboration with Gio Ponti has begun. Thanks to this partnership were born the 646 chair, known as Leggera, and the subsequent model 699 or Superleggera.Read more

Designed by

Philippe Starck

Philippe Starck
Philippe Starck (1949-) is a real design star. Parisian by birth, with a histrionic and brilliant personality, he has managed to reach levels of popularity never even approached by any other designer before him. “The popular is elegant, the rare is vulgar”: this is one of his most famous motto, which best exemplifies his style, applied to projects of a very different scale. From small everyday objects produced in millions of copies (such as the Juicy Salif orange juicer for Alessi, perhaps his most famous product), to the gigantic luxury yachts destined for a few millionaires, all his creations are characterized by surprising shapes but at the same time functional, often tinged with irony. After his beginnings as an interior designer, specializing in particular in the construction of hotels, Starck reached the peak of his success between the 80s and 90s thanks to close collaborations with some Italian companies, such as Baleri, Driade, Flos, Fiam, Cassina and above all Kartell, with whom he found the perfect partner to realize his ideal of pop design.Read more
