CASSINA

Design excellence, a combination of technological capacity with handcraftsmanship Founded in Meda, Italy, by Cesare and Umberto Cassina in 1927, Cassina launched industrial design during the 50’s by taking a completely new approach which saw a shift from handcraftsmanship to serial production. Cassina was pioneering in the way that it showed a striking inclination for research and innovation, combining technological skill with traditional craftsmanship. For the first time important architects and designers were involved and encouraged to envision new designs to be transformed into projects, a characteristic that still distinguishes the company.
