Cappellini
Progetti Compiuti Side 2 Chest with Drawers
Price € 23.650,00
The Progetti Compiuti Side 2 chest of drawers by Shiro Kuramata, reissued by Cappellini since the 1980s, represents one of the timeless peaks of Japanese design. Permeated by a dreamy and a little crazy poetry, the Side 2 chest of drawers seems to move undulating in the space with drawers now closer and now far away from the viewer. A brilliant example of "art design" mixed with craftsmanship, with a series of eighteen drawers of different depths that give the chest of drawers the illusion of movement and its characteristic fluid and dynamic shape. The front of the drawers has a white matt lacquered finish, while the composition structure is in black-stained ash wood. The base consists of four comfortable wheels that make it easier to move.

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.
