Petit bureau en forme Libre writing desk by Charlotte Perriand


Another reissued piece designed by Perriand in collaboration with Pernette Perriand-Barsac is the Petit bureau en forme Libre writing desk, originally designed in 1956.


The desk, which has an asymmetrical curving form with smooth rounded edges, comes in a solid Canaletto walnut as well as a range of matt lacquered finishes.

Ventaglio table by Charlotte Perriand


Ventaglio is a multifunctional table designed by Perriand in 1972, which can be used as a kitchen table, living room table or desk.


The table is distinguished by its simple and elegant form and comes in natural oak or oak-stained black finishes.


It is composed of 14 adjoining planks that intersect to create an irregular shape, which provides ample space on the tabletop for computers and work devices. The desk also includes integrated power access.

Utrecht armchair by Gerrit T Rietveld


Dutch architect Gerrit T Rietveld originally designed the Utrecht armchair in 1935 for a department store in Amsterdam. Designed for large-scale distribution, the chair was conceived as four puzzle-like parts that could be assembled on site.


Its composition is made up of a generous seat with a reclining backrest and two angular armrests that double as the front legs.


The chair is seen as an example of the neoplasticism art movement, which is characterised by the use of bright colours and austere geometries.

Back-Wing armchair by Patricia Urquiola


Spanish architect and designer Patricia Urquiola created the Back-Wing armchair as a second piece to join Cassina's Back-Wing collection, which includes a dining chair created in 2018 by Urquiola.


The chair has an ergonomic form that envelops its user and a solid wooden structure that demonstrates the "fine woodworking skills of the Cassina joinery".


To offer comfort, the seat is made from flexible polyurethane foam that can be upholstered in Cassina' s wide range of fabrics and leathers that come in multiple colours.

Volage EX-S Slim sofa by Philippe Starck


French designer Philippe Starck has updated his Volage EX-S Slim sofa for Cassina, which now has a smaller footprint to suit smaller spaces such as offices and lobbies.


The new compact sofa features thinner armrests to maximise seating space, which is offered through its generous 75-centimetre depth.


The sofa, which is available in three sizes, features a distinct tufted Chesterfield seatback made using an innovative capitonné tufting process, which Starck and Cassina developed exclusively together.

Sarpi Office table by Carlo Scarpa


Italian architect Carlo Scarpa originally designed the Sarpi Office table in 1974, which was based on one of Scarpa's earlier designs called the Doge table.


The new version of the table includes its predecessor' s distinct base but inverts it to create a smaller footprint, which makes it suitable for office spaces of varying sizes.


The table is now available with a timber top and also includes integrated power access and a cable slot.
