Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Cassina Mon-Cloud sofa?

The Mon-Cloud was designed by Patricia Urquiola, the Madrid-born, Milan-based architect and designer known for her dialogue between structural precision and sensory warmth. She has maintained a long creative collaboration with Cassina.

What is the significance of the exposed wood frame?

The exposed frame is not decorative but conceptual. By making the structure visible, Urquiola allows the upholstered cushions to read as deliberately suspended, giving the piece its characteristic sense of lightness and considered proportion.

Is the Mon-Cloud available in custom upholstery?

Yes. The Mon-Cloud is available in a range of Cassina fabrics and leathers, allowing the piece to be specified to suit a given interior palette or material program. Configuration options also vary to accommodate different spatial needs.

What does 'designed for circularity' mean in this context?

Cassina designed the Mon-Cloud with disassembly in mind, meaning individual components can be separated, repaired, or replaced over time. This approach extends the functional life of the piece and reduces material waste.

How does the Mon-Cloud relate to Cassina's broader design philosophy?

Cassina has long championed furniture as a cultural object rather than a commodity. The Mon-Cloud reflects that position, prioritizing craft, longevity, and the integrity of the designer's vision over purely commercial considerations.
