Cassina

For Cassina, September pays homage to celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Charlotte Perriand Collection. During Paris Design Week (5–14 September), an exclusive selection of works by Charlotte Perriand becomes the focal point of the Cassina Store Paris Rive Gauche and is featured in an extraordinary window display. Here, the Indochine chaise longue takes center stage in a scenographic setting that emphasizes the designer's meticulous attention to materials and the expression of lightness, surrounded by the disassembled components of two of her models, suspended in space. In the Ville Lumière, the Cassina Store Paris Rive Gauche hosted a talk titled "À la recherche du temps perdu: Le Monde Visionnaire de Charlotte Perriand." Pernette Perriand, the designer's daughter, alongside biographer Jacques Barsac, delved into the significance of memories in design, drawing inspiration from a renowned passage in Marcel Proust's work.

The Cassina Store Seoul Samcheong celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Charlotte Perriand Collection with an exhibition titled "20 Years of the Charlotte Perriand Collection - The Voyager" from September 4th to October 6th, in collaboration with its prestigious partner SpaceLogic Korea. After the inauguration of the store during last year's Frieze Seoul, Cassina is once again hosting a significant exhibition to thank its domestic customers, while underlining the strategic importance of the Korean market and the company’s commitment to promoting Charlotte Perriand's legacy. The travelling show stops in Seoul, the only Asian city on the itinerary, celebrating Perriand's timeless influence on contemporary design. The event offers a special opportunity to rediscover the authenticity and value of her designs, reaffirming how her humanistic philosophy continues to resonate deeply with us today, transcending time. Among the works on display, masterpieces such as the Nuage à Plots bookcase and the Tabouret Berger stand out, symbols of her functional, minimalist aesthetic. In addition to furniture items, the exhibition offers an in-depth exploration of Perriand's life and philosophy, through a precious collection of books, archives and photographs, which reflect her humanistic approach and vision of design as a means of improving society.

After the end of World War II, Cassina made a name for itself in custom design, using its know-how to create high-quality furniture for outdoor spaces. The company specialized in naval supplies, contributing to its industrial growth and introducing industrial design. In the 1950s, brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina collaborated with architects and designers to create detailed, handcrafted designs. Cassina furnished over 58 ocean liners, including the Andrea Doria, an example of Italian excellence, whose interiors were elegantly created by Gio Ponti and Nino Zoncada. Other ocean liners furnished by Cassina included the Conte Biancamano, the Conte Grande, the Giulio Cesare, the Michelangelo and the Costa Armatori ships. Today, with its Yachting Selection, Cassina continues the tradition of naval furnishings, offering its vision for pleasure boating and luxury ships. It furnishes every room of the yachts, from the living and dining areas to the flybridge, solarium and the owner's staterooms, using iconic products and pieces by contemporary designers. The result is elegantly furnished vessels that are distinct and eclectic, just like the collection itself. #Cassina #Yachting

Defining a new and modern art of living: this was the lifelong motto of Charlotte Perriand, born in Paris in 1903. Perhaps this is also why she collaborated with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret for ten years, breathing warmth into the rationalist design ideal of the two architects and designers, and revolutionizing the aesthetic values of an era. In 1964 the company obtained the exclusive rights to mass-produce the Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand furniture models, creating the Cassina iMaestri Collection. Forty years later, in collaboration with Pernette Perriand-Barsac, Charlotte Perriand's daughter and heir, Cassina produced a collection bearing her name that offered a broader overview of the designer's work. Cassina's love for the author’s work inspired the company to support and promote the exhibitions "Le monde nouveau de Charlotte Perriand" (2019) and "Charlotte Perriand: The Modern Life" (2021). Among the emblematic pieces in the collection is the Indochine chaise longue, designed in 1943 and produced today with innovative materials, capable of highlighting the comfort and aesthetic harmony of the piece. On the occasion of this prestigious anniversary, Cassina will celebrate the historic designer during some events such as Frieze Seoul (4/09-7/09), Paris Design Week in Paris (5/09-14/09), the London Design Festival (14/09-22/09) and in an event at the Cassina Store Lyon (in October).

On August 2, the Cassina Store Osaka unveiled its new interiors, renovated to reflect the company’s vision of the home, as expressed in ‘The Cassina Perspective’. Opened in 1998, the Cassina Store Osaka is located along Midosuji Avenue, which is beautifully lined with ginkgo trees, lush green in summer and golden in autumn. As the second most important store after the one in Tokyo, it has long been a leader in the interior design industry in western Japan. At the centre of the store, the generous proportions of Moncloud, the system designed by Patricia Urquiola with an innovative and conscious soul, dialogue with the refined design of the Table Monta coffee table by Charlotte Perriand in the living area, while the Longplane table by Rodolfo Dordoni and the Committee Chair small armchairs from the Hommage à Pierre Jeanneret collection combine to create an elegant atmosphere in the dining area. The new Cassina 2024 Outdoor Collection is also displayed among the home settings. The essential lines of the Mex-Hi Outdoor system by Piero Lissoni and iconic Utrecht XL Outdoor armchair by Gerrit T. Rietveld, are the protagonists of a versatile and dynamic open-air space. Renovation of the Cassina Store Osaka further strengthens the brand's position in Japan, where it has been present for over 30 years, and with four stores with Cassina ixc. #Cassina #CassinaStoreOsaka #Osakaixc

The 699 Superleggera chair, conceived by Gio Ponti and produced by Cassina since 1957, stands as the flagship of the company's catalogue and has been awarded a Compasso d’Oro Career Award this year. Envisioned as an evolved and "slimmed down" version of the Leggera 646, the 699 Superleggera is the result of Gio Ponti's research on strength and lightness. He aimed to create the lightest and most resilient chair possible, pushing the Cassina craftsmen to the limits of their capabilities. Its defining feature, the ability to be lifted with a single finger due to its featherlight weight of merely 1,700 grams, renders this ash and beech chair unparalleled and inimitable, both iconic and widely emulated. It harmoniously marries artisanal craftsmanship with industrial innovation. Inspired by the traditional Ligurian wooden and straw chairs from Chiavari, also known as chiavarine, the 699 Superleggera, has captivated and continues to enchant aficionados of the brand with its deceptive simplicity. After all, the "master" himself cherished saying: "A chair-chair, without adjectives"—though one, at least, is warranted: "superleggera," indeed. Today, it is produced in natural ash or stained in white, black, or red, with a seat available in india cane or padded upholstery.
