'modular Imagination By Virgil Abloh', Triple Connecting Element In Orange

'Modular Imagination by Virgil Abloh', triple connecting element from Cassina featuring orange, curve-edge body and 5cm x 21cm.

Conceived just a year before Virgil Abloh's death in 2021, 'Modular Imagination' is a collaborative project between the American fashion designer and Italian brand Cassina that stylishly explores modularity. Comprising a series of components that span base units and connecting elements, the project invites users to fully participate in the arrangement of the furniture blocks by choosing how they may be configured depending on one's own needs and habits. This triple connecting element is used to lock the collection's block modules together to create a variety of bespoke setups that celebrate of function, versatility and intuition. When clicked into place in their respective 'sockets' on the modules, the orange aluminum connector facilitates the creation of tables, stools or even seats, allowing other components to connect on top or alongside each other. Marked with a round logo in bas-relief as well as the hashtag #AblohCassina for a permanent seal of this special and singular collaboration, this piece is part of a larger testament to Abloh's innovative contributions to contemporary design.
