The Infinito bookcase, designed by Franco Albini between 1956 and 1957, is a modular and flexible system that can be placed either against a wall or in the center of a room as a dividing element. Composed of adjustable uprights fixed by pressure between the floor and the ceiling, it allows for the integration of customizable shelves and containers without the need for anchors. Since 2008, Cassina has expanded its configurations thanks to serial production, making it a versatile solution for storage and furnishing.
Cassina
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.
