ABOUT THE DESIGNER
FRANCO CASSINA
Nemo, founded in Milan in 1993 by Franco Cassina, is a reference name that has its roots in a history of innovations that has always inspired Italian design. Owned by Federico Palazzari, Nemo creates “The Masters” collection, a unique selection of lamps designed by the masters of the twentieth century such as Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Vico Magistretti, Franco Albini and Kazuhide Takahama. Alongside these projects, Nemo also dedicates itself to the creation of contemporary icons by collaborating with designers including Mario Bellini, Jean Nouvel, Andrea Branzi, Bernhard Osann and Arihiro Miyake.
In 2020, following the acquisition of the historical Turin-based lighting company Ilti Luce, it comes to life Nemo Studio which is committed to the research and development of innovative solutions for architectural lighting design in the museum, retail and outdoor sectors.
