Cappellini 2018 at Milano Design Week


“Revamping our stylistic DNA through our artistic consistency.
Reasserting our origins means allowing the user to claim his own identity and individuality.”

Giulio Cappellini

From extreme forms to essential lines, from vivid colours to neutral shades, from hi-tech materials to natural elements. Moreover, the playful component, unexpected and ironic. For #cappellini, contrasts are parts of the same vision and define the #design identity of the company. This contraposition defines a dwelling experience overtaking trends, functional borders and the simple exercise of home décor. Consistent with its own DNA, the brand intertwines industrial experimentation and artistic inspiration, tradition and cultural contaminations, it gives voice to an avant-garde message on display on the occasion of the #salonedelmobile in Milan, held from the 17th to 22nd of April. The new collections are on display in a scenery made of vivid and white light, obtained through neon to emphasize the stylistic language of this project, to enhance the fading colours and add value to the textures on the surface. In a reference to the lighting #design by Dan Flavin and neon scenography by Lucio Fontana, as well as the use of light as an architectural element, #cappellini defines the ephemeral #design experience where objects are deprived of their functionality and become icons of themselves. A display of artistic inspiration, furniture elements are presented in a system of boxes and towers expressing their most profound designing contents, revealing the sophisticated manufacturing of surfaces and the use of new materials made possible by research on innovation. Colour itself becomes a part of the creative and manufacturing process, referencing the warm shades of frescos and paintings of the past, as well as the pop colours of the Op Art. Once again, the collections by #cappellini reveal their eclectic nature, anticipating behaviour and needs of the end-user to adapt with nonchalance to residential and contract spaces.

DENTO - Tomek Rygalik 2018

Forms are soft; surfaces are smooth; lines are clean. From the encounter of four rounded elements, remindful of river pebbles, the Dento seat is born. An all-rounded seat inviting to comfort thanks to its technical construction allowing the armrests to adapt to the position of those sitting on it, only to snap back to its original perfection. The same happens with fabrics and leather upholstery: bending, curling, crushing without forming a crease. Enveloping and comforting, Dento is presented in the Swedish style variant with ash legs, as well as in the swivelling version with die-cast aluminium base.
