The Modular Imagination Double Connecting Element by Virgil Abloh for Cassina joins two block modules together, forming the foundation for tables, stools, or seating configurations. The orange aluminium connector clicks into corresponding sockets on each module, allowing components to link on top or alongside each other with a secure fit. A bas-relief round logo and the #AblohCassina hashtag are embedded into the piece, marking it as part of the collaborative collection between Abloh and the Italian manufacturer. Its two-point connection suits straightforward linear arrangements within the broader modular system.
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 double 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 by 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.
