About the Item

This is an iconic “271 Mex Cube” 4-piece, 4-6 seat sectional-sofa from the world renown Italian furniture house of Cassina. In a world of temporary pleasures, Cassina create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever. Dressed in the most stunning and tactile mohair-velvet fabric option in a divine, demure dark-gold, and supplied with the scatter-cushions pictured. Whilst being as robust and hard-wearing as rhino skin, its softness and texture (as illustrated in the close-up images provided) is simply divine to the touch. Fabric does not come more-refined or high-grade than this. This piece is in superb, immaculately-maintained condition, having seen light, irregular use in the past. Its handsome order reflects the TLC and considerate use afforded it at its previous home and, aside from one-or-two minor, light, insignificant marks across the seats and the arms (as you might expect from a sofa of this nature), and some very-subtle discolouration to the front of one seat-cushion, is as well-presented as you could possibly hope to find. As the images provided will attest, these issues prove to be of modest overall significance and, rather than being mentioned because they detract hugely from the beauty of the piece, are mentioned purely for the purposes of accuracy. Please view the images provided to confirm its fantastic condition and appearance. Please be aware that the close-up images of the seats have the effect of lightening the colour of this mohair-velvet significantly (the longer-range images offer a much more accurate colour representation) but is as fine-a-conditioned, beautifully-clothed example of this Lissoni creation as you could hope to acquire. In its current condition, it would comfortably meet the requirements of all but the most-particular and, for someone looking for a piece of high-design to position at the heart of family life, it is truly heaven sent! This superb piece possesses all the beauty and majesty of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy. Dimensions-wise, it is a bit of a whopper. When configured, it measures 326cm across the back, is 98cm deep, and stands 70cm high. Due to the sectional nature of this piece, rest assured that it dismantles easily into its 4 component sections, so is able to be transported, installed and rebuilt without issue. The breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously upholstered fibre-filled back and composite seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms. Not only does it possess an aesthetic to die for, but it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable too!

Cassina

Furniture manufacturer Cassina is a prolific design house for more reasons than one: It not only owns the licenses to an exquisite collection of iconic chairs, sofas, tables and other pieces from the 20th and 21st centuries but also produces original works that are characterized by innovation and the finest Italian craftsmanship.

Cassina’s illustrious legacy includes being one of the first companies to bring industrial design to Italy in the 1950s. Founded in 1927 in Meda, Italy, by brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina, the Italian manufacturing giant originally specialized in bespoke woodworking. In nearly a century since its founding, the company has shown incredible foresight about design trends and the evolution of technology.

In 1964, Cassina signed an exclusive licensing agreement to manufacture furniture by Le Corbusier and his collaborators — such as the LC4 chaise longue made with trailblazing French modernist Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret — a move that would shape the future of the company. Cassina’s I Maestri collection is an ongoing initiative to restyle landmark designs from the 20th century, such as pieces by Gerrit Rietveld (the Red and Blue armchair from 1918), Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Erik Gunnar Asplund, Franco Albini and Frank Lloyd Wright. The company preserves the intentions and original styles of their designs but adds updated techniques, materials and processes — rendering them the best possible combination of past, present and future. The brand has also worked with contemporary icons like Zaha Hadid, Gio Ponti and Philippe Starck.

Cassina’s original designs are cutting-edge as well. They include pieces for everyday use, the development of which is guided by comfort and the marriage of Italian craftsmanship with industrial technology.

Some of Cassina’s pieces, both from its contemporary and I Maestri collections, can be found in the collections of museums like the Museum of Modern Art and the Vitra Design Museum. In 2014, the company became part of Haworth in its acquisition of Italian furniture group Poltrona Frau, and in 2015, Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola joined Cassina as its art director, leading the brand into its next century of inventive style.
