Cappellini is a contemporary Italian furniture brand founded by Enrico Cappellini in 1946 in Carugo, Italy. Part of the Haworth Group since 2014, Cappellini works with established and emerging international designers to create experimental furniture for workplace, hospitality, and residential interiors.

The company began as a traditional family workshop in Carugo, a town nestled in the hills of Brianza between Milan and Lake Como. Brianza has been a centre of Italian furniture making for more than a century.

When Giulio Cappellini joined his father’s company in 1977, he began transforming the brand into an international platform for contemporary design. Early collaborations with Shiro Kuramata and Jasper Morrison established Cappellini’s eye for distinct creative visions.

Giulio Cappellini looks for ‘longsellers rather than bestsellers’. Longsellers remain relevant beyond a single season, carrying stories that resonate across design eras. Under Giulio’s guidance, Cappellini has cultivated decades-long relationships with designers including Jasper Morrison, Nendo, and Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. In Haworth’s Cappellini collection, you can find classics still in production and available today – like Tom Dixon’s S-Chair (1991) and the Bouroullecs’ Cloud bookshelf (2004).

Cappellini’s collaborations with emerging voices – such as Sebastian Herkner, Daisuke Kitagawa, and Elena Salmistraro – lay the groundwork for the lasting relationships that will create tomorrow’s longsellers.

As the boundaries between workspace, hospitality, and residential design become less distinct, Cappellini’s collection offers furniture for the in-between spaces – the places people work that don’t quite fit traditional categories.

Haworth offers a selection of Cappellini’s portfolio, curated for work settings and supported by Haworth’s project expertise. The full Cappellini portfolio is available at cappellini.com.
