Cassina
Contact: Diane Skapetis
Tel: 0207 584 0000
Eml: diane.skapetis@cassina.com
Web: http://www.cassina.com
Profile:
Cassina has been designing the future of interiors for 90 years. Founded by Cesare and Umberto Cassina in Meda in 1927, the company launched industrial design in Italy during the 50’s by taking a completely new approach which saw a shift from handcraftsmanship to serial production.
The company was pioneering in the way that it showed a striking inclination for research and innovation, combining technological skill with traditional craftsmanship. For the first time important architects and designers were involved and encouraged to envision new designs to be transformed into projects, a characteristic that still distinguishes the company. Today Cassina continues to represent new ways of living, creating harmonious settings that bring together the best of contemporary design.

Contact: Celine Mougenot Salt
Tel: 0207 589 3846
Eml: Cmougenotsalt@poltronafrau.com
Web: https://www.poltronafrau.com/en
Profile:
Founded in 1912, Poltrona Frau has given over a century of life and culture to leather, the brand's chosen material. A leader in top-end Made in Italy furniture and an ambassador of Italian excellence around the world, Poltrona Frau is now part of the Haworth Group, the leading American office furniture holding company, yet has stayed true to its identity and values. Research has been part of the brand’s DNA since the outset. The drive to invent new forms, construction solutions and styles has led to the creation of timeless pieces which express a universal yet intimate and personal elegance: from the Chester and Vanity Fair, attributed to the founder Renzo Frau, to Dezza by Gio Ponti and Titano, a project by Pierluigi Cerri and winner of the company's first Compasso d’Oro award and finally to recent successes such as the collections by Jean-Marie Massaud, Roberto Lazzeroni and Neri & Hu.
The factory combines manual craftsmanship with the most sophisticated technologies and meticulous quality control, where a tireless innovative spirit explores the diverse aesthetic and functional values of the highest quality leathers, all of which selected with the utmost care.
There are currently 9 collections in a total of 181 shades: Pelle Frau® leather from the Color System, Soul, Nest, Heritage, Century, Saddle, Cavallino, Cuoietto and Safari leather. Alongside these, Poltrona Frau uses fabric, wood and metal in combinations which often require the creation of new techniques.
