Concept

Casalino 2007 is not a remake, it’s an original. And still as beautiful as it ever was in the seventies. Casalino shows up well everywhere, at home and in the garden, at the office and on the patio. Its qualities of those days meet today’s requirements: Casalino is elegant and robust at the same time. Stackable and easy to clean. Colourfast and antistatic. Casalino is available as a cantilever chair with arms, as a chair without arms or as a stool. The padded seat is optional. The Casalino tables match with all these products.
