Usually the most exciting part of visiting fairs is, to attend the associated events of the exhibitors. So I very gladly followed the invitation to an event held by Cassina<\/em><\/strong> at their fairly new Showroom while imm cologne last week.<\/p>\n The event was savoring\u00a0Cassina’s<\/em><\/strong> recent acquisition of Simoncollezione<\/i><\/b>, the historical Italian brand founded in the 60ties, and now part of the Cassina Contemporary Collection since September 2013.<\/p>\n I had the great joy to listen to an interesting talk with the famous italian architect and designer Tobia Scarpa and Prof. Axel Kufus from the University of Art in Berlin. Some might say, due to the presence of Tobia Scarpa, even a historical moment.<\/p>\n Hereafter I would like to give a short insight over Simoncollezione and the talk.<\/p>\n
