About the Item

Splendida cassettiera modello Brera disegnata da Piero de Martini per Cassina nel 1980,rovere laccato nero opaco,finitura a poro aperto,inserti metallo laccato rosso.Condizioni originali molto buone Piero De Martini's Biography He was born in Milan in 1939, where he graduated in Architecture in 1964. He began to devote himself to the profession in the field of residential construction and conservative restoration. From 1969 he began to deal with design and in 1975 he began collaborating with Cassina. From this collaboration the well-known "La Barca" program was born, elements in natural ash that make up sofas, tables, beds. His particular working method has always been based on a close collaboration between designers, craftsmen and Art Directors right from the moment of defining the prototypes. He later designed other products for Cassina and other companies in the sector, with particular dedication to home furnishings, appreciated and reported in various publications and exhibitions. In addition to his activity as a designer, De Martini studied piano and became a passionate musicologist . Referring to a sentence by Massimo Mila: «If the conservatory is the place where the musical richness of the past is preserved, the Choir of the S.A.T. it could have the right to call itself Conservatorio delle Alpi», De Martini in 2009 wrote Il Conservatorio delle Alpi which describes the history of the Choir of the SAT (Società Alpinisti Tridentini); in the volume the author narrates the journey of the group of young founders interspersing it with his personal story as a great lover of mountain songs. In 2018, with regard to musicology studies, he wrote the book "Le case della musica" published by Il Saggiatore; the volume is an intimate and spiritual journey into the houses where some of the greatest composers were born and lived, from Bach's home in Eisenach, to that of Mozart in Salzburg, to the cottage of Carbonin Vecchia in the middle of the Mahler woods. For the same publisher he published the volume Schumann in 2020. The last chapter is in 2021 Johannes Brahms. Autobiography of the artist as a young man.

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.
