Mathare

Cappellini

Young Milanese designer Giacomo Moor joins the Cappellini creative team with Mathare, a furniture collection born from the study of a construction system designed to ensure stability and durability through a series of sequential joints, eliminating anything superfluous or decorative. The modular repetition of legs, crossbars, and chains optimizes the production process, reinterpreting with simplicity and sophistication the concept of interlocking, which is traditionally associated with classic woodworking techniques.

 

The collection's name draws inspiration from a humanitarian initiative that saw Giacomo Moor involved in designing and crafting furniture for a school in Mathare, one of the largest slums in Nairobi, Kenya. The designer sought to pay tribute to the strength and vitality of the local community by creating a furniture collection that combines industrial production principles with a project of deep social impact.

 

The Mathare collection features a bench and tables in various sizes, also available in a contract version for custom configurations. All pieces in the collection are made of oak, offered in natural or black-stained finishes, as well as in the new open-pore lacquered version available in blue, green, and burgundy colors.

Cappellini: Italian Designer Furniture in Sarasota

Cappellini was founded in 1946 by Enrico Cappellini in the Italian Brianza region, north of Milan. Cappellini began as a furniture maker specializing in wooden furniture and case goods. After Enrico’s son Giulio joined the company, bringing a passion for art & design, Cappellini experienced a creative evolution that has placed them at the forefront in the world of design and furnishings.
Cappellini’s collections are known for tapping new trends and far-flung talents; often described as a 'tutti-frutti' affair, with minimalism offered up alongside pop fashion, technology, and amoebic forms. Cappellini is proud to have 18 pieces included in the permanent Design Collection at the Museum of Modern Art.
