history
the “amedeo cassina” of the brothers cesare and umberto cassina was born in 1927 in meda, brianza. The main activity is woodworking, within the company, for the production of coffee tables. Over the years the company expanded, especially in the post-war period, also thanks to collaborations with external architects who brought their expertise and research.

in the 1950s cassina moved from artisanal to serial production, adopting the logic of industrial design. A change also induced by the commission of furnishings for the interiors of large cruise ships. Furthermore, in this period some of the company's best-known products took shape: the 646 chair and the 699 chair, known as the "superleggera", both designed by gio ponti.
