Mex Cube
Made by Cassina
Designed by Piero Lissoni
Piero Lissoni designed the Mex Cube for Cassina as a study in modularity without compromise. Each element is a self-contained cube, individually padded and upholstered, capable of functioning independently or in concert with others. Compositions range from a compact sofa to an expansive island seating arrangement, each reading as a resolved whole rather than an assembled collection of parts.
The system's authority comes from its geometry. Clean, low-profile proportions and a disciplined silhouette give every configuration a consistent formal identity, regardless of scale. The Mex Cube shifts with the rhythms of daily life while holding its visual clarity across any arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What configurations are possible with the Mex Cube?
The Mex Cube system can be arranged as a standard sofa, chaise longue, face-to-face conversation grouping, or an expansive island seating composition. Because each cube is a fully independent upholstered unit, configurations are not limited to a fixed set of options.
Who designed the Cassina Mex Cube?
The Mex Cube was designed by Piero Lissoni, the Milan-based architect and designer known for his precise, restrained approach to form. His long collaboration with Cassina has produced some of the brand's most architecturally considered seating systems.
What upholstery options are available for the Mex Cube?
The Mex Cube is available in a wide range of Cassina fabrics and leathers, allowing the same geometric form to read differently depending on material weight, texture, and color. Specific options are best confirmed through a design consultation.
How does the Mex Cube differ from other modular sofa systems?
Unlike systems built around connectors or frames, the Mex Cube treats each upholstered cube as a wholly self-contained unit. This approach means the system can be reconfigured or expanded without visible structural interruption, preserving the clean silhouette across any layout.
Is the Mex Cube suitable for large open-plan spaces?
The Mex Cube's modular logic scales well in large, open-plan environments, where its low profile and geometric clarity allow it to define zones without imposing on the surrounding architecture. Its island configurations are particularly effective in generous, loft-scale interiors.
