Uni
Made by Cappellini
Designed by Piero Lissoni
Piero Lissoni's Uni series approaches storage as a problem of architecture. The geometry is strict, the proportions deliberate, and the resulting cabinet reads less as furniture than as a built element within a room. Every decision, from the aluminium-lined poplar plywood construction to the acidified glass interior shelving, reflects a sensibility shaped by decades of rigorous practice.
Wall-mounted configurations are available with three drawers or three leaf doors, each finished in medium-density conglomerate wood. The surfaces carry a quiet precision that holds up under close inspection, in both matte and glossy finishes. Free-standing versions rest on thick laminate base panels supported by a metal frame, grounding the composition without competing with its surroundings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Cappellini Uni cabinet?
The Uni cabinet series was designed by Piero Lissoni, the Milan-based architect and designer known for his rigorous, reductive aesthetic. Lissoni has collaborated with Cappellini and several other leading Italian manufacturers over the course of his career.
What materials is the Uni cabinet made from?
The Uni cabinet is constructed from medium-density conglomerate wood with aluminium-lined poplar plywood used for the doors and drawers. Free-standing versions incorporate thick laminate base panels and a metal frame.
What finish options are available for the Uni cabinet?
The Uni cabinet is available in both matte and glossy finishes, allowing the piece to read differently depending on the light conditions and interior context it occupies.
What is the difference between the wall-mounted and free-standing Uni configurations?
The wall-mounted models feature either three drawers or three leaf doors and are fixed directly to the wall for a suspended, architectural effect. Free-standing versions sit on laminate base panels with a metal frame, offering greater placement flexibility.
Does the Uni cabinet have interior storage features?
Yes. Interior options include acidified glass shelving and optional internal drawers, providing a considered approach to organization within the cabinet's clean exterior silhouette.
