True Design presents Cassina

Established in Italy in 1927, Cassina has been at the forefront of Italian furniture and homeware design for decades. Underscoring each of its distinct designs are two principles – classic design sensibilities and innovation. This approach has allowed Cassina to deliver many iconic pieces over the years with designs that capture the grandeur of the company’s heritage and contemporary lifestyles.

This approach is clearly evident in their new collection. Inspired by the “interiors of a stately home, with its frescoed walls, cornice friezes and elegantly decorated ceilings” the new collection takes one on a journey between the past and the future with new colour combinations and striking blends of scale and unusual geometries in precious leathers, tactile fabrics, fine woods and shiny metallic finishes.

As Cassiana puts it, it’s “a journey to rediscover the harmony of unique and eclectic spaces, from the living and dining areas to the bedroom, to define an exclusive and contemporary home”.

Stand-out pieces that bridge the gap between then and now include the 3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle sofa through which the concept of modernity is expressed through the separation between the metal support frame and the upholstered elements. As well as La Rotonda -a table with a timeless design by Mario Bellini, who morphs the natural warmth of the material into an elegant, ageless shape, in perfect balance between aesthetic refinement and technical quality. Not to forget Volage by Philippe Starck – a luxurious bed with a unique, opulent design.

Cassina is locally available at True Design. Stockists of the finest authentic designs, True Design represents several premium international brands in South Africa.

“Our brands are a true reflection of success, each with their own rich history, pioneering the trends of design and product technologies,” notes True Design.
