LC20 Casiers Standard designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand for Cassina, in the collection since 1978, are relaunched with a new look emphasising the features that make this unique furniture with its timeless design versatile, functional and perfect for the organisation of space. The units come in 18 fixed compositions, in two- and three-module versions and in three different types: with open compartments, with two hinged doors or with lover folding door.

The range of compositions allows for the different kinds of modules to be used together according to specific patterns, designed to offer goodlooking filing and storage space, while the wide array of colours – for the bases, external and internal parts of the modules and the doors – makes for interesting, elegant solutions.

The modules contain adjustable shelves with 5 different possible positions (two shelves for modules with open compartments and hinged doors; one shelf for modules with flap doors). Two kinds of legs: four chrome-plated supports legs or two painted corolla-shaped pedestal bases.

The following finishes are available:

— (A) grey lacquered metal frame with four chrome-plated legs or with two grey lacquered pedestal bases; outside in mud-stained oak, inside of open compartments in grey-stained oak; doors painted in slatecolour finish;

— (B) mud lacquered metal frame with four chrome-plated legs or with two mud lacquered pedestal bases; outside in natural oak, inside of open compartments in mudstained oak; doors painted with slate-colour finish;

During his artistic studies, Pol met Pierre Sterckx, professor of aesthetics, who opened his eyes to art and philosophy. This meeting will be decisive in his future choices. He then discovered the profession of bodybuilder and, by working on the most prestigious cars, he learned to work with all the materials, the various techniques and the aesthetics. That’s when he started drawing objects and furniture.

In 1987 he created his compact disc shelf. The shelf is still in production twenty years later. He then participated in various furniture shows (Salone del Mobile, Interieur) and thus began his career as a designer. In 1995 Pol met an ex-engineer from Donnay (tennis racket manufacturer) who taught him composite materials and mainly carbon fiber. The C06 chair was born in April 1995, it will be the lightest chair in the world (950 grams). During his 6 months in Milan, Pol met people from Swatch Group. Carlo Giordanetti, Swatch’s artistic director, asked him to design watches for the group’s brands. In New York, he started working for Hamilton and finally for Rado. Back in Brussels at the end of 2000, Pol created the “strada”, a 10 cm high shoe without heels.

While still designing furniture. He creates bright tables for a downtown dance hall and also creates a brand new shoe shop for Biondini in Paris, at Galeries Lafayette. At the same time, furniture publisher Vange is interested in Pol’s collection of objects. In 2007 he designed a complete Corian collection for OVO editions and put the C09 (his new carbon chair) into production with this young publisher.

Giovanni “Gio” Ponti, (Milan, November 18, 1891 – Milan, September 16, 1979), is one of the Italian masters of architecture. He was also a designer and essayist and one of the most important of the twentieth century. Other than the great architectural works which carry his unmistakable signature, he created a vast amount of work in the furniture sector. This is demonstrated in his three Milanese houses which were fully furnished in the “Ponti” style. The houses in via Randaccio, 1925, Casa Laporte in via Brin, 1926 and the last in via Dezza, in 1957 is an “expression” of his home design ideas.

The D.357.2 bookcase designed by Gio Ponti has been designed in 1956-1957 for Ponti’s house on via Dezza in Milan. It is made from shaped multi-layered material with elm veneer, partly with natural transparent fi nish, partly hand-painted in white. It is available in the versions with or without applied mirror.

 The Noguièr sideboard (Noguièr meaning walnut in the Basque language) has the strong allure of a classic. It revisits the ever-present wood/steel juxtaposition found in Brichet-Ziegler designs such as the H. Russell lounge chair. Noguièr’s defining feature is its clean lines, minimalism and the elegance of its base. The beauty of the walnut is highlighted by the exceptional artisanship of a master woodworker from the Basque Country.

The Carlton bookcase was designed by Ettore Sottsass for Memphis Milano in 1981 and was made circa 1990. This historical piece can also be seen in the Museum of Modern Art New York.

– –

Born in Innsbruck, Austria in 1917, architect-designer Ettore Sottsass grew up in Milan. He studied architecture at the Polytechnic of Turin, graduating in 1939. As a member of the Italian army, Sottsass spent most of World War II in a Yugoslavian concentration camp. After the war, he returned to Milan and opened his first studio in 1947. Like most Italian designers in these years, he focused on activities to help the postwar reconstruction efforts, including exhibition design.

In 1958, he began working with Olivetti, for whom he designed multiple landmark objects—including Valentine, the brand’s iconic 1969 red plastic typewriter—and transformed the large, cold electronics and office machinery of the day into playful, accessible objects of desire.

During the 1960s, Sottsass spent time in both India, where he was deeply affected by the country’s vibrant colors and mythologies, and the U.S., where he embraced pop art culture. These influences can be seen in Sottsass’s ceramic designs through the rest of his life.

In 1973, he cofounded Global Tools, an experimental design collective, alongside Gaetano Pesce, Alessandro Mendini, and others. During the ’70s, he collaborated with Alessi, Baccarat, and Knoll, designing everyday items like condiment sets and decanters. Other manufacturers that Sottsass designed for include Artemide, Bitossi, O-Luce, Poltronova, Skipper, Stilnovo, and Zanotta.

In 1980, he formed the architecture/design firm Sottsass Associati. In 1981, he founded the Memphis Group, an influential, flamboyant design firm known for its brightly colored post-modern furniture, ceramics, and lighting. He remained with the Group until 1985, at which point he turned his attentions again to architecture. He died at the age of 90.
