07/06/2024 - Cassina and Philippe Starck are celebrating 30 years of collaboration with a new range of bedroom furniture: the Somewhere El-S seat, inspired by trunks and the world of saddlery, and the Volage Ex-S Night Wood bed, a new version of the historic Volage capitonné bed.

Since their first meeting in 1994, Starck has interpreted the Cassina lifestyle with an ironic and innovative vision, anticipating the needs of the contemporary lifestyle. The Lazy Working Sofa is a multifunctional island wired for the different rhythms of life; the Volage and Privé sofa and seat collections are two interpretations of capitonné with a new button fastening technique; Fenc-e Nature is Cassina's first outdoor furniture collection.

The Somewhere El-S seating collection recalls the features and tailoring details of traditional travel trunks. "In the middle of the desert, waiting for your driver, it's always nice to sit on your suitcase," says Starck.

Three ottomans and an armchair that can also be used as a daybed, with or without a backrest. The detail of the Somewhere El-S collection is on the seat, reminiscent of a handbag, a suitcase or even a gift parcel: a clasp made with craftsmanship inspired by the world of leather goods. Metal elements and contrasting ivory stitching outline the contours.

With an increasingly responsible approach, the seat and armrest upholstery is made from recycled materials like polyurethane with differentiated densities and a percentage of polyols from biological sources, covered with blown recycled PET fibre. With no glued parts, the Somewhere El-S collection can be completely disassembled to facilitate recycling and material recovery at the end of the product's life cycle.
 

Cassina and Philippe Starck: bed, bedside tables and lamps in a single unit

Volage Ex-S Night Wood is a new chapter in the bedroom collection by Philippe Starck for Cassina. The historic Volage queen-size bed is proposed with a single-size headboard in three wood finishes: mahogany, glossy ebony and matt sycamore.

 As in the original model, the Volage Ex-S Night Wood headboard is fitted on both sides with a bar of functional accessories. A large fabric abat-jour in ivory, peach or grey creates a warm, soft light, while a small dimmable LED spotlight can be directed for reading.
