Enrico Cappellini opens a small workshop in Carugo, a small town a few steps from Como and Milan, producing traditional pieces of furniture according to the artisan traditions of the Brianza area.

Cappellini launches Sistemi: a new way of conceiving cabinets, combining function and aesthetics, also in a serial production. Simplicity, elegance, formal lightness and innovation are the guidelines for these new compositions, conceived to give the buyer a wide possibility of personalization.

The relation between Marc Newson and Cappellini becomes a true partnership which results in the launch of the Embryo Chair, one of the most technologically advanced project of the Australian designer.

The House of Cappellini show presented at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan marks a change of direction for furniture design presentations organized outside the traditional fair sites.

Cappellini presents its first anthological exhibition in Cologne, curated by Achille Castiglioni, showcasing the first 20 years of the company’s activities.

Originally designed and manufactured in polystyrene for an artistic installation, the characteristic Cloud bookshelf by the Bouroullec brothers has then been transformed into a product made of recycled plastic, the first object of such huge dimensions to be manufactured with the rotational-molding technology.

During one of his trips to New York, Giulio Cappellini meets Dror, a young and visionary designer with the idea of creating an armchair resembling a peacock’s tail with references to the fashion world. After almost one year of engineering, the Peacock armchair was born: an ambitious product, yet well-finished down to the smallest detail, capable of supporting a person's body weight with the sole use of pleated felt.

From the collaboration with the renowned Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, the Lud’o Lounge armchair was born: an innovative project with unusual lines and an ingenious construction, entirely based on the idea of wearability and sustainability.
