The encounter between Persol and Cassina reflects a shared vision of the Made in Italy concept, where style, design culture and creativity come together. For both brands, design emerges from a constant dialogue between past and present, craftsmanship and innovation, heritage and avant-garde. 

This unprecedented collaboration takes shape in an exclusive collection where detail and material take centre stage. A limited edition of 500 numbered pieces brings together eyewear in a gradient blue colourway with a valet tray crafted from recycled materials designed by Patricia Urquiola, Art Director of Cassina. This object represents a symbolic element of the collaboration: its shape, inspired by a seal, evokes the meeting between the two brands, sealing their encounter and embodying their shared values.

The eyewear is also available individually in Persol’s iconic black and havana colourways.

The inspiration behind the model draws from Cassina’s historical archive and from the study of designs created by some of the greatest authors, making it possible to reinterpret emblematic forms within the language of eyewear through a research-driven approach to the three-dimensional shaping of materials.

This dialogue between memory and design is also reflected in the dedicated packaging. Its aesthetic recalls the folders preserved in Cassina’s archive in Meda, the place that safeguards the brand’s history and know-how.
