Founded in 1946, Cappellini has become synonymous with contemporary, avant-garde design. Over the years, the company launched some of the world’s greatest designers, producing innovative and high-quality furnishings. Cappellini’s collection is characterised by experimentation and the exploration of new ways of living, furnishing the whole domestic landscape from the living room to the studio and bedroom, but also contract areas such as lounges, hotels and restaurants. Many of these products have also become iconic pieces which are exhibited in museums throughout the world such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the MoMa in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Giulio Cappellini, creator of the company’s uniqueness and emblematic figure in the international design scene, is universally recognised as a talent scout for young designers. Some examples include Jasper Morrison, Marcel Wanders, the Bouroullec brothers and Marc Newson. Giulio Cappellini is the art director at Cappellini, defining the product range and communication strategies. He was recently nominated by Time magazine as one of the most important trendsetters in the world. Cappellini pieces are available worldwide, with flagship stores in Milan, London, Manila and Ho Chi Minh City. The head offices are in Lentate sul Seveso, in Italy.
