Casa Pupo were a successful business in the UK during the 1960s and 1970s. Founded by Geoffrey Dobson and Jose Casasus in 1960 with their first shop in Pimlico Road, London, selling ceramics, bedding, lamp bases, rugs and small furniture items imported from Spain and Portugal. Many Casa Pupo objects were white but many demonstrated vibrant colour and unusual design features.
Success followed and shops were opened across the country in Harrogate, Brighton, Richmond, Guildford, and Glasgow, then in Athens. The company eventually went out of business in the 1980s.
