Linde Freya Tangelder finds space to shine with Cassina

“The Cassina Research and Development Centre has always been a hub for architects, designers and creatives; particularly in the 1960s, when experimentation was at its most radical expression,” says Luca Fuso, CEO of the design division at Haworth Lifestyle, whose brands include Cassina, Karakter, Zanotta and Cappellini. In this spirit, Cassina founded its Patronage programme, aimed at nurturing young talent and supporting creativity. For 2026, the brand is working with Dutch furniture designer Linde Freya Tangelder on ‘Fluid Re-Collection’: an exhibition at 10 Corso Como, highlighting a practice using both ancient and modern craft techniques.
