Cassina meets Ginori 1735: tableware to tribute Le Corbusier
This dinner service was originally produced for the Prunier restaurant in London where, on the wall of a private room, Madame Prunier had hung the Les Mains tapestry designed by Le Corbusier in 1951. In 1961, she commissioned Le Corbusier to #design a dinner service for the restaurant with the same intertwined hands motif that was on the lower part of the tapestry.
Today the Service Prunier, which includes a dinner plate, a soup dish, a dessert/salad plate and a small coffee cup and saucer, has been authentically reissued by #cassina thanks to the collaboration with Ginori 1735 and the Fondation Le Corbusier.
Le Corbusier himself used these dishes in which he combined, as he himself said, quality and taste, or “the taste of shape”.
This collection of three trays feature bas-relief symbols taken from imprints designed by Le Corbusier for the walls of buildings in Chandigarh, the city that he designed in the 1950s, now a world heritage site.
Each tray in the Collection Chandigarh, produced by Ginori 1735 for #cassina, features a decorative symbol: the most recognisable and recurring in his architecture, on the square tray with rounded corners, is the hand, the eternal symbol of peace; the round tray presents a fish; the rectangular tray the solar movement. Made in matt white porcelain with a biscuit effect, these trays are perfect for both everyday use and to display.

Cassina meets Venini: Colourdisc, a first project by Bethan Laura Wood
The English designer Bethan Laura Wood has interpreted the perfect synthesis between centenary art and contemporary #design with the Colourdisc duo of vases, a fruit bowl and cylindrical flower vase, produced by Venini.
A series of coloured compositions of discs and diamonds in Murano glass, produced in the Venini furnaces in Venice, are placed around a brass volume, available in two light finishes. Inside the structure it is possible to insert an optional blown glass vase in amber or horizon blue to offer an additional pool of colour to the object and to be able to use the vase for flowers.
When the discs are hit by sunlight or evening spotlights, colours reflect on the vase creating a kaleidoscopic effect.

Art mirrors life
Mirrors feature greatly in surrealist literature and art given that they represent the age-old dilemma of the relationship between illusion and reality. A question mark about who we are and what we see - whether it is reality or a reflection of reality.
The Les Grands Trans-parents mirror designed in 1938 by Man Ray, a great protagonist of Dadaism and Surrealism, was produced by Dino Gavina in 1971 so that everyone could enjoy a poetic work of art in their own homes. Today the mirror is reissued by #cassina.
The Deadline series by Ron Gilad, is also a clear reference to the contemporary art world. A collection of 12 rectangular and square mirrors, both functional and decorative, create graphic reflections and different perspectives. Like valuable pieces of artwork, each mirror is placed in a solid natural or tinted black ash-wood frame with visible joints that highlight Cassina’s craftsmanship ability in working with wood.
Cassina Lighting: simple and versatile solutions
Inspired by 1950s motifs and natural forms, these floor and suspension lamps designed by #cassina are the synthesis of the thorough research of pure and ancestral shapes, merging into a post-modern style transported into the present.
Karakter: the Danish #design company with an international outlook
Karakter is founded on a spirit of exploration, courage and an uncompromising attitude to quality. The company has a portfolio of furniture, lighting and objects that perfectly integrate into Cassina’s home settings thanks to the shared passion for innovative contemporary #design and expertise in reissuing authentic classics.
Aspiring to building an enduring legacy, Karakter works with contemporary architects and designers like Aldo Bakker and PlueerSmitt but also reissues works by maestri such as Bodil Kjær, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Joe Colombo, Paul McCobb and Angelo Mangiarotti.
Taking his cue from clear geometric forms, in 1968 the progressive Italian designer Joe Colombo created the bold and elegant Sferico glass series to bring a sense of occasion to the everyday table setting.
