I Maestri di Cassina: Architectural Masterpieces and Global Design Icons
The Heritage of Modernism in Fine Italian Manufacturing
I Maestri di Cassina collection represents one of the most distinguished chapters in the history of international design. Far more than a furniture assortment, it functions as a living, philological archive that preserves and reissues the most influential creations of 20th-century architectural pioneers
Through rigorous, close collaboration with official foundations and heirs, Cassina restores masterpieces that redefined the concept of living space—combining absolute fidelity to original drawings with the mastery of Italian craftsmanship and contemporary technological innovation
Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand: The Revolution of Form
A cornerstone of the collection is the seminal body of work by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. Designed in the late 1920s as genuine "machines for living", these architectural creations shattered traditional interior conventions by introducing the purity of exposed tubular steel, the warmth of saddle leather, and precise ergonomic proportions. From the armchairs and chaise-longues of the iconic LC series to architectural tables and storage systems, every creation embodies a flawless balance between structural rigor and human well-being.
Visionary Masters of the 20th Century: Albini, Rietveld, Zanuso, and Mackintosh
Beyond the vanguard of French rationalism, the collection celebrates the groundbreaking visions of other absolute masters who shaped the trajectory of modern design. From the poetic lightness and interlocking joinery of Franco Albini to the neoplastic chromatic discipline of Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, from the technological innovation and tailored upholstery of Marco Zanuso to the graphic elegance of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the refined forms of Gio Ponti: this collection offers a comprehensive overview of the design movements that laid the foundation for modern living.
Lasting Value and Curatorial Prestige for Contemporary Interior Layouts
Selecting a piece from the I Maestri di Cassina collection means bringing an asset of enduring material, historical, and aesthetic value into your interior environment. Ideally suited for high-profile private residences, executive spaces, and curated architectural projects, these icons impart a quiet authority and deep design culture to any layout, turning the history of architecture into a daily experience of excellence.
