Casa Pupo history :
When advertising lawyer with a top drawer London contacts book Geoffrey Dobson and stylish Spaniard Jose "Pupo" Casasus got together in 1960, they created one of the decade’s most successful brands; Casa Pupo. The couple were a perfect team. Geoffrey’s legal acumen and advertising background gave the business its solid footing, whilst Pupo provided the style and flamboyance. Born out of a corner shop in Pimlico, near the studios of an up-and-coming photographer Anthony Armstrong-Jones, the show with modest beginnings eventually grew into a worldwide chain with shops from Paris to Sydney.

When Winston Churchill died, Pupo draped the Pimlico window in plain fabric with just one red rose taking pride of place. It was at Casa Pupo that Robin Guild, who was to go on to found Designers Guild, cut his teeth as the manager of the Hampstead store. When in the 70's the business was sold the pair started again, and Casa Fina was born, selling the trademark “Pupo” rugs. This time it was a franchise and Casa Fina grew across the country.
