Design entrepreneur Giulio Cappellini, guest editor of October 2023 Wallpaper*, tells us about his celebrated adventures in design and his future vision for the spaces we inhabit
Giulio Cappellini has enough ideas for a few lifetimes. At 69, it seems like he has already lived a few lives, as he has been working as the visionary art director of his family company, a humble Brianza-based furniture maker that, under his direction, turned into a global brand representing international creativity and aesthetic eclecticism.

In 1987, he travelled to London, where he chanced upon Jasper Morrison’s ‘Thinking Man’s’ Chair’ at Aram. ‘The chair immediately attracted my attention, and so I went to meet Jasper in his studio,’ recalls Cappellini.
