Over the years, Cassina has also acquired the rights to reissue emblematic pieces of the Modern Movement, designed in the 1920s by luminaries like Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. Recent collaborations with contemporary designers like Piero Lissoni and Philippe Starck have further cemented its position as a leader in innovative design.

The Cassina LAB plays a fundamental role in integrating recycled and recyclable materials into the production process, offering solutions that combine sustainability, quality, and longevity. This dedication to material choice, combined with craftsmanship, tradition, and industrial know-how, allows Cassina to create truly unique design pieces.
