Cappelletti Architetti is a multidisciplinary studio located in a medieval building that was once part of the Carimate castle complex built in 1345 AD. Here the studio deals with product design, interior design and architecture. Giuliano Cappelletti, founder of the studio, attended the State Art Institute of Cantù and graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano.
In his family he grew up breathing projects, drawings and furniture. Thanks to his father who had a carpentry shop, he was able to meet famous architects who fascinated him and led him to choose his own academic and professional path. At the age of 21 he moved to Milan for work and study and, being able to enjoy the explosion of design in the Milanese city, he opened his own studio and began to have
the first collaborations with companies in the sector, a fundamental experience to understand the production processes and the use of new materials. In 2012 Gabriele joined the studio after graduating in architecture from the Milan Polytechnic and after a series of work experiences in Italy and abroad.
Together they cultivate a design that is characterized by formal and technological research, with great attention to material and detail. Giuliano and Gabriele collaborate with many companies in the furniture sector in close contact with the many artisans located in the area where they grew up. The skills and experiences gained during these years working alongside the artisans influence their approach to design. In addition to their work as consultants for Italian furniture brands, Giuliano e
Gabriele deal with public and private showroom projects, offices, restaurants, shops and apartments.
In 2013 they opened a studio in Shanghai together with Chinese partners with whom they work on architecture and contract projects.
