Thirty years ago – in 1992 – Cappellini presented the Progetto Oggetto collection, formulated to expand the company’s catalogue (already full of illustrious collaborations: Shiro Kuramata, Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson, Tom Dixon) with a series of accessories for the home and objects for everyday use. This was the beginning of a new way of thinking about the domestic environment.
One of the items on sale at the new Cappellini e-commerce channel, launched for the occasion of the restyling of the corporate website, comes precisely from that historic collection: Cross, the medicine cabinet in sheet metal designed by Thomas Eriksson, which since its launch has entered all the textbooks of design history.
Together with other pieces created by a remarkable roster of designers (Werner Aisslinger, François Azambourg, Ronan Bouroullec, Giulio Cappellini, Thomas Dariel, Daniel Eltner, Antonio Facco, Francesco Focellini, Antonio Forteleoni, Johan Lindstén, Alessandro Mendini, Marcel Wanders Studio, Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson, Panter & Tourron), it is available for online purchase, delivered to the client’s home.
The service, operational in Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Holland and Luxembourg, presently covers lamps and objects. The initiative will be expanded to include all furnishings by the end of 2023.
