The Godfather of design… Giulio Cappellini.

Famed Milanese architect, Giulio Cappellini has been defining the industry since 1979 with an energetic spirit and refreshing goals. Through the years his work transformed into that of a designer’s, offering a personal approach to contemporary design. He has successfully established both his brand and his name and has worked as the art director for other key design brands.

His lectures at the Milan Architecture University always generate great interest around the world. Giulio Cappellini remains as the art director of the Italian design firm Cappellini based in Milan, which since 2004 has been part of the larger Poltrona Frau Group design family.
