Luisa Armchair
Cassinaby Franco Albini
Luisa is a chair with armrests with a sleek minimalist design, the result of a journey of exploration that occupied Franco Albini for 15 years as he focused on developing an archetype in which the core elements of the structure respond to various possible uses in the home.
Luisa is a timeless object wrought of pure technique and matter. An extremely expressive historic piece of design furniture. A flawless model in which Franco Albini expresses his concept of substance in form, highlighting the disconnects in the elements by increasing their thickness at the intersecting joints.

Franco Albini
He was a major figure in the Rationalist Movement, excelling in architectural, furniture, industrial and museum design. After receiving a degree in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1929, he worked with Ponti and Lancia. He set up his own practice in Milan in 1931, working together with Franca Helg from 1952.During the 1940’s, Albini expanded his collaboration with Cassina, which started with chair designs that paved the way for his signature style. Among the several acknowledgements he received, there are the Compasso d’Oro award for the Luis chair (1955) and the Royal Designer for Industry title awarded by the London Royal Society of Arts (1971).
Cassina
Founded in 1927, Cassina launched industrial design in Italy during the 1950’s.
The company was pioneering thanks to its striking inclination for research and innovation, working with important architects and designers and encouraging them to envision fresh designs, a characteristic that still distinguishes the brand today. Cassina’s identity lies in the innovative fusion of technological skill and traditional craftsmanship.
The collections feature iconic furniture by great modern architects including Le Corbusier, Mackintosh, Wright, Rietveld, Perriand, Albini and Zanuso, as well as important architects and designers such as Bellini, Lissoni, Magistretti, Pesce, Ponti and Starck. Since 2015 Patricia Urquiola is the Art Director of Cassina.
