Domande Frequenti

What is the Cassina Somewhere El-S collection?

Somewhere El-S is a seating collection designed by Philippe Starck for Cassina, comprising an armchair and three ottomans - one rectangular and two square. Each piece can function as independent seating or be configured as a daybed with optional backrest support.

What upholstery options are available for Somewhere El-S?

The collection is available in thick-grain leather in three finishes, or in Starck's exclusive ethnic-patterned fabric, with solid natural and black fabric alternatives also offered.

What is the saddlery closure detail on Somewhere El-S?

Each piece features a handcrafted closure inspired by saddlery and luxury packaging traditions, finished with metal embellishments. On the armchair it appears on the front face; on the ottomans it runs along both sides - giving the collection a distinctive, artisanal character.

How long has Philippe Starck collaborated with Cassina?

Philippe Starck's creative partnership with Cassina spans over three decades, during which he has produced some of his most enduring furniture works - pieces that consistently engage with cultural provocation, materiality, and formal wit.

What materials are used in the padding construction?

The seating and armrests use a sustainable padding system that combines variable-density polyurethane with natural materials, designed to maintain comfort and structural integrity over time.
