Cappellini Chairs

Cappellini’s designer furniture history began in 1946 in a small artisan workshop and has grown into an innovative company recognized internationally. The brand is built on values such as good design, a mindset free from trends, research and innovation, the development of new talent, craftsmanship, and the heritage of Italian savoir-faire.

Cappellini furniture is known for its avant-garde design, where function strongly intersects with art. Among these pieces, chairs are some of the clearest examples of a creative vision shaped by inspiration, research, and attention to stylistic details.

The Avant-Garde Design of Cappellini Chairs

Cappellini offers a range of dining chairs and armchairs with captivating details that bring a cultured and sophisticated atmosphere to any space. One of the most famous examples is Tom Dixon’s S-Chair, a Cappellini classic included in the collections of the Triennale di Milano and the MoMA in New York. The S-Chair is a flowing sculptural piece made with a metal frame, originally finished with hand-woven marsh straw.

Another iconic Cappellini design, the Fronzoni ’64 chair by AG Fronzoni, emerged through a process of subtraction to become a minimalist, conceptual piece made of straight lines and planes, featuring a square-section metal tube frame and a lacquered wood seat. Giulio Cappellini’s Selettiva Cantù chair is a sculptural design with a three-legged base, combining a structured frame with soft cushioning. This versatile and eclectic piece is crafted in natural oak and is available in a variety of finishes.

The Cappellini chair collection also includes dining armchairs such as Jasper Morrison’s Cap Chair 2, fully upholstered in leather, and Nendo’s Peg Chair, with compact, rounded proportions and a design that provides an exceptionally comfortable seat.
