With their timeless, unique features, these
combinable modular cabinets are capable of architecturally organizing any room,
holding any object and arranging themselves in any space, to create an
authentic furnished wall.
Part of the model home project by Le Corbusier
in 1925 for the Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau, the Casiers Standard mark the
turning point of moving beyond the traditional concept of furnishings; Cassina
revisits these design containers with a contemporary approach that enhances the
quality of the object, accenting its characteristics of versatility and
functionality.

Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand |
In 1922, Le Corbusier began working in the new rue de
Sèvres, Paris, atelier with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret with whom he shared
research projects and design criteria in a profound and life-long professional
relationship. In October 1927, the pair decided to draw on the
contribution of a young architect who had already begun to establish a
reputation on the architectural scene of the time: Charlotte Perriand. Their collaboration lasted through to 1937 and was
extremely fruitful, especially in the field of furniture design. The
partnership was highly significant, both in terms of the cultural weight of
their achievements and their professional successes. It was together with Charlotte Perriand that the pair
tackled the innovative project for “l’équipement d'intérieur de
l’habitation”. The resulting designs were of great intellectual value
and considerable commercial success. Thanks to Cassina’s ongoing production, there is
continued interest in the conceptual contents of the work and the level of
quality attained.
Due to these characteristics, each item in the
collection is eagerly awaited. |
