Founded in 1946 in Carugo, Italy, by Enrico Cappellini, the brand has grown from a small Brianza workshop into a global symbol of avant‑garde Italian design, blending bold creativity with refined craftsmanship. With Giulio Cappellini’s arrival in the late 1970s, the company embraced experimentation and international collaboration, becoming a launchpad for visionary talents whose work would redefine contemporary furniture. From Shiro Kuramata’s Revolving Cabinet to Marc Newson’s Felt Chair, each piece embodies a legacy of innovation and artistry rooted in curiosity, material exploration and expressive form. Cappellini’s catalog spans icons that now reside in major museums worldwide, yet the brand remains driven by the same spirit that shaped its origins: a commitment to discovery, a celebration of emerging voices and a belief that furniture should elevate everyday life through imagination, emotion and cultural relevance.
