Design Magazine

Celebrate the future and its constant evolution, without ever forget the past, that's the principal aim of "Origins of the Future", the new Cassina collection, recently presented at Salone del Mobile (12/17 April 2016 , Milano Rho Fair).

The new 2016 collection was inspired by the idea that existence is the result of a dynamic and evolving process. Hence the need to rediscover and reinterpret the icons of design, adapting them to a changing world. That’s why tradition and innovation go hand in hand, following a cyclical process.

Cassina’s Manifesto, a step away from the 90th anniversary (which will fall in 2017), has been inspired by questions and reflections on contemporary society and its reverberations in the world of forms and colors. A continuous "becoming", a "future that is renewed," to explore to bring out aspects unknown and to trace new paths.

The collection includes models made by the most important Cassina’s contemporary artists and designers. Chairs, sofas, armchairs, indoor and outdoor furniture to transform the spaces into real places to live, revisiting a contemporary icons that have marked Cassina’s story.
