Cassina has announced "MODULAR IMAGINATION," a modular building block designed by Virgil Abloh.
"MODULAR IMAGINATION" is a collaboration between Cassina and Virgil Abloh, who has worked as a designer for LOUIS VUITTON and Off-White™.
It can be used individually as a stool, ottoman, or side table, or connected together to form a bench or table, allowing for versatile use with the freedom of imagination, just like playing with building blocks.
Virgil Abloh holds a master's degree in architecture and has showcased his diverse talents in the worlds of music and fashion. In recent years, he has been active as a designer for LOUIS VUITTON and his own brand, Off-White.
The collaboration between Abloh, who is involved in various cultural fields, and Cassina, which is always innovative, was inevitable, and Cassina had been working on this collaboration with Abloh since 2020.
The product was reportedly completed shortly before Mr. Abloh's death.
"MODULAR IMAGINATION" shares values similar to Le Corbusier's "TABOURET" stool and expresses a modern approach to housing in today's diverse society.
Virgil Abloh's fondness for using brand logos is evident in the "Cassina-Abloh" logo featured on each side of the garment, a nod to his graphic design.
