Cappellini
Progetti Compiuti Side 1 Chest with Drawers
Price € 26.901,00
The Progetti Compiuti series of cabinets by Shiro Kuramata represents one of the key moments in the fruitful history of Japanese design. Standard bearer of this collection, Cappellini's Side 1 chest of drawers constitutes with its dreamlike and surreal shapes, but also delicately poetic, a true summa of all the aesthetics of Kuramata's work. Side 1 is a chest of drawers that seems to float in space with a wavy movement, an effect obtained by overlapping 18 drawers with curved sides, all slightly different from each other. The drawers are enclosed by a black-stained ash structure, supported by four practical wheels.

Giulio Cappellini, from the beginning the heart and mind of the namesake company, has gained over the years the well-deserved reputation of being one of the greatest talent scouts in the history of Italian design. His flair has brought to Italy a large number of young designers from all over the world, who have found in Cappellini the ideal environment to create bold and avant-garde projects, thus often starting careers from real design-star. The Cappellini philosophy of supporting the creativity of their designers, has given life to a rich and heterogeneous catalog, in which a multi-faceted “author” styls coexists. Over the years, this peculiarity has given Cappellini top marks and places in the most important museums of the world such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Center Pompidou in Paris.Read more
Designed by
Shiro Kuramata
Shiro Kuramata (1934-1980) is one of the most famous Japanese designers of all time. His creations, often dreamlike and surreal, draw their charm from an unexpected fusion between a delicate poetry of oriental origin and the daring experiments of the nascent postmodernism with its unsettling shapes and unprecedented combinations of materials. Most of them are now re-proposed by the Italian brand Cappellini, which has made a great contribution to his international fame by re-editing some of his most famous works from the end of the 1980s together with furnishings designed directly for the brand. However, his close link with Italy dates back to a few years earlier, when his friend Ettore Sottsass had invited him to take part in the fruitful experience of Memphis, particularly similar to his poetics. Among the other brands with which Kuramata has had the opportunity to leave his mark there are also the Japanese Ishimaru, for which he designed the Miss Blanche armchair, among other products, and the Swiss giant Vitra, for which he created the immaterial How armchair High the Moon. Also active as an interior designer, in this capacity Kuramata is best known for having designed many of Issey Miyake's boutiques around the world.
