Starting  by the brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina in 1927 in Northern Italy.  From this modest start the firm is now one of the most exclusive sources for contemporary Italian design. 

In the mid-1950s, Cassina traveled to Paris and obtained the rights to manufacture Le Corbusier's collection. With the success of the license, Cassina embarked upon a larger program, The Cassina Masters Collection, which today includes work from the major icons of design. 
 Today the series includes Charlotte Perriand, Gerrit T. Rietveld, Charles R. Mackintosh, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Erik Gunnar Asplund.

Cassina SpA was first introduced to the American market in the early 1960s. In 1994, Cassina expanded its presence in the US and began selling through its new company, Cassina USA.
