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.
Among the authors who became part of the I Maestri Collection are: Franco Albini, Erik Gunnar Asplund, Giacomo Balla, Le Corbusier, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Ico Parisi, Charlotte Perriand, Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, Frank Lloyd Wright and Marco Zanuso
In February 2014 the group led by Poltrona Frau was acquired by the American company Haworth.

- Gio Ponti Round Coffee Table in Walnut Wood Italian Manifacture 1940sBy Gio PontiLocated in Montecatini Terme, ITRound shaped coffee table with three legs, in walnut wood and brass details. Attribuited to Gio Ponti, Italian manufacture from the late 1940s to the early 1950s Gio Ponti was an icon of the modernist movement: the Italian designer, architect, artist and publisher contributed significantly to the worlds of architecture and design with his extensive work in fine furniture and ceramics, education, office and residential buildings, and everything in between. Giovanni, known as Gio Ponti was born in 1891 in Milan. It was there that he spent his childhood, and in 1921 he began to study architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. From 1923 to 1930 he served as the artistic director of the Richard-Ginori porcelain factory. In 1927, Ponti started his first architectural office, together with Emilio Lancia, and in 1928 he started the magazine Domus, which is still regarded as one of the most influential European magazines for architecture and design.
