Story
An Archive design taken outdoors
On its page Cassina introduces the outdoor version of the Novetrenta sofa, a Vico Magistretti design that belongs to the company's Historical Archive. The text calls it a reinterpretation of an Italian design icon that retains the formal rigour and refinement behind the original's success.
Made in the carpentry workshop
The sofa is made in Cassina's carpentry workshop around a solid iroko wood structure. The seat is an upholstered version made from recycled materials, with removable fabric covers, and every component can be taken apart, so the materials can be recovered when the sofa is retired.
