Cassina is known for launching Italian industrial design, artfully combining technology with fine craftsmanship. Today, the company manufactures furniture pieces from some of the most important figures of 20th-century design. With the opening of Cassina’s Seattle showroom, these designers will have a permanent home in the Northwest, alongside contemporary pieces. Much like the brand itself, the Seattle space presents a unique vision of home, one where innovative products are presented alongside modern design icons, creating an atmosphere that is both warm and inviting.

Founded in Vancouver, Sundays has quickly become known across Canada and beyond for its approachable yet design-minded pieces that are as well made as they are modern. Embracing the “Sunday state of mind,” the company’s furniture collection prioritizes comfortable and attainable pieces made to last. Now, Sundays celebrates the opening of their first physical shop in the U.S. in Seattle, with a bright, airy showroom in a heritage building downtown that invites visitors to stay awhile. “We’re thrilled to have a permanent U.S. presence in Seattle,” says Sundays co-founder Barbora Samieian. “We’re also excited to connect with our neighbors and local community—building those connections is very important to our brand.” With partnerships with Northwest makers, such as Portland-based Notary Ceramics, and plans for art openings, panel discussions and neighborhood happy hours at the showroom, Sundays is poised to be a dynamic new hub for design in the region.
