Cassina, founded by Cesare and Umberto Cassina in 1927, launched industrial design in Italy during the 50’s. In the rich and complex turmoil of that era, the company was pioneering in the way it showed a striking inclination for research and innovation, working side by side with important architects and designers with differing backgrounds and encouraging them to envision fresh designs, a characteristic that still distinguishes the company today. Cassina’s identity lies in an innovative fusion that closely links technological skill with traditional craftsmanship. True to this identity, the company preserves its traditional passion for carpentry for which it is known worldwide and that is still the hub around which its designs are centred. Since 2005 Cassina has been part of the Poltrona Frau Group, worldwide leader in the high-end furnishing sector and international spokesperson for the best design made in Italy.
