Cotone, a collection of products united by a strong sense of contemporary design. Essential design extended to a family of products. Following the Bouroullec brothers’ debut last year with the Cotone small dining armchair, the two designers have developed a Cotone collection to include a table, a wooden chair and a slimmer version of the dining chair. The components of the collection all have the same distinctive extruded aluminium frame characterised by sophisticated industrial details which means that they can be freely combined based on one’s tastes and requirements. Aluminium, an element of the future. The choice to focus this project on a light and malleable metal like aluminium reflects how Cassina carries out its industrial role in the furniture industry. A more modern material compared to other metals, it has an elegant appearane making it particularly aesthetically appealing. Produced in the Cassina carpentry workshop with advanced numerical control machines, the solid ash wood seat and backrest of the Cotone Legno combine with its aluminium base to create a highly contemporary chair. A minimal design, its anodised frame, in the same selection of colours as the rest of the family, sharply contrasts with the stained black ash wood elements, while the varnished black version makes for a more sophisticated option.

Cassina作为当今世界顶级家具品牌，有着悠久历史。早在十七世纪，Cassina就开始从事教堂木器家具的制作，精湛的工艺与对细节的专注使其在那个时期就赢得人们的尊敬，以致今天的人们仍能在美丽的科莫湖畔的教堂中找到Cassina当年产品的身影。

1927年，以Cassina兄弟（Cesare & Umberto Cassina）在意大利米兰成立Cassina公司为标志，Cassina开始了现代家具的生产历程。二次世界大战后，Cassina公司接受了一系列来自海军军舰、以及宾馆、饭店和社交活动场所的大型家具定单，这些特殊环境下对家具质量和功能的苛刻要求让Cassina长期秉承的质量、耐久、信誉的传统价值观得到充分的体现，并为Cassina后来的发展奠定了基础。

在意大利家具设计的潮流中，Cassina始终是一面旗帜，并形成了以米兰为中心的意大利家具设计和制造的高潮时代。如今Cassina的足迹遍布全世界，拥有近百年历史，被誉为“现代家具之王”，是当今世界当之无愧的奢侈品级家具品牌。
