This Three Sofa de Luxe from Cappellini is made by the designer-Morrison. Even if its first aim is to make the products “live” in the real houses of people, Cappellini can boast a big number of projects became during the years part of the permanent collections of the most important museums of art and design of the whole world.
About the designer-Morrison: Born in London in 1959, he graduated at the Royal College of Art and established his first design office in 1986. Immediately after this, he began his lasting and useful cooperation with Cappellini; nowadays, he works in London and in Paris for high level companies such as Alessi, Flos, Rowenta, Sony and Samsung. Each Morrison’s project has a minimal elegance which makes it strongly modern beeing a sort of archetype linked to past, favouring function on expression.
“Cappellini’s planning ability is clearly visible through its products, realized in these last twenty years of collaboration with designers of great quality.”
Cappellini is passed through a deep transformation that has brought the Firm to compare with the most different circles of the world of furnishings and design from 1946 to today. From the first approaches to the international creativeness, passing through the marketing of pieces of high quality, to the presentation of designers of different extraction and character, Cappellini gave life during the years to different collections, heterogeneous, but that cohabit with great harmony and facility under the same brand.
Bravely, Cappellini keeps on working with designers of the whole world, different temperaments that don’t create a real “Cappellini’s style”, but that compete to form a balanced and convincing collection.
Cappellini, born as an handicraft Firm, has leaned out to the new millennium indissolubly tied to the world of the image, of the experimentation and of the search of models, often of the most refined simplicity, that leaves enough space to the consumer for an individual interpretation. The products of Cappellini are never boring neither absurd, but they always possess something of alive and light, often full of healthy humor, other times proposing brave and dynamics formal solutions: these are the characteristics that make the collection Cappellini full of vivacious fractures and contradictions.
