Nemo was founded in 1993 in Milan by Franco Cassina, owner of Cassina S.p.A. and by Carlo Forcolini, that felt the need of a project based on innovation, rooting in the tradition that inspired the Italian design.
Thanks to various products that became icons of the Italian design, Nemo has gained a leading position in the lighting design world.
Nemo reissues famous lamps by design masters from the 20th century like a.o Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Vico Magistretti, Franco Albini et Kazuhide Takahama. Thanks to the lighting division of Cassina, some rare and valuable models like Corbusier’s lampe de Marseille, Perriand’s potence pivotante, or CP1 sconce, are now affordable.
