Cappellini
Giulio Cappellini, from the beginning the heart and mind of the namesake company, has gained over the years the well-deserved reputation of being one of the greatest talent scouts in the history of Italian design. His flair has brought to Italy a large number of young designers from all over the world, who have found in Cappellini the ideal environment to create bold and avant-garde projects, thus often starting careers from real design-star. The Cappellini philosophy of supporting the creativity of their designers, has given life to a rich and heterogeneous catalog, in which a multi-faceted “author” styls coexists. Over the years, this peculiarity has given Cappellini top marks and places in the most important museums of the world such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Center Pompidou in Paris.Read more

Designed by

Patrick Norguet

Patrick Norguet
Patrick Norguet (1969-) is one of the most prolific and appreciated contemporary French designers. Far from any intellectualistic or self-referential temptation, Norguet is an "industrial designer" in the true sense of the word, capable of actively dealing with production processes, very capable of integrating his style with the identity of the brands he works for. His style echoes the precision and simplicity of the shapes that characterize Nordic design, and adds a typically French touch of sweetness and refinement. After his beginnings with the Swedish brand Offecct and for the Dutch Artifort, for which he takes the baton from a sacred monster of French design like Pierre Paulin, Norguet reveals himself to the great international public with his surprising Rainbow Chair, created in 1999 for Cappellini and soon became part of the permanent collection of the MoMA. It is only the first step of a long and fruitful career, in which projects with French brands such as Tolix, Alki and La Manufacture Paris are flanked by many collaborations with important Italian brands such as Alias, Ethimo, Zanotta, Cassina, De Padova, Pedrali, Kristalia, Glas Italia and many others.Read more
