Cassina

Cassina is an Italian furniture maker with its registered office in Meda in Lombardy. Cesare and Umberto Cassina founded the company in 1927. It is known for reissuing modern design classics and has held the exclusive rights to serial production of designs by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand since 1964. Since 2014 Cassina has belonged to the Haworth group of the USA.

Range

• The iMaestri Collection with Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand pieces, since 1973, expanded in 2023 with Charles and Ray Eames
• Ciprea armchair by Afra and Tobia Scarpa (1968) and the Privé sofa by Philippe Starck (2008)
• Sofas, armchairs, tables, storage and lighting for homes and the contract market

Ownership

Haworth, a company from Michigan, bought Cassina together with Poltrona Frau and Cappellini in 2014 and manages them in the Haworth Lifestyle group. Cassina is therefore flagged as having a non-European parent, even though design, production and head office remain in Italy. The furniture is in the luxury price segment.
