Cassina was founded in 1927 in Meda (Milan) by Cesare and Umberto Cassina, inaugurating industrial design in Italy in the 1950s. The brand's identity is found in an original union where technological aptitude is closely linked to traditional craftsmanship. Cassina maintains its ancient heart, the carpentry, the linchpin of all its workmanship. It is characterised by a transversal culture of absolute quality, which makes each Cassina piece unique.

Domenico Parisi, called Ico, was an Italian architect, designer, photographer and architectural theorist. He was born in Palermo in 1916 but in 1925 he moved with his family to Como, the city where he studied and completed a period of apprenticeship at the Terragni studio. His activity, marked by continuous experimentation, was an incessant research in the field of architecture, art and design. It later joined companies such as Cassina, producing numerous furnishing objects and decorative art elements with ceramics and glass.
