The first collaboration between Doshi Levien and Cappellini gave rise to Capo, an armchair defined by a slender yet enveloping form. Its shape and materiality were inspired by the image of a dapper gentleman in a well-cut suit and a felted hat – a sartorial attitude translated into furniture. As the name Capo suggests, the chair’s wide cantilevered arms and upturned lapel-like back subtly bestow a sense of authority on the sitter. The open embrace of the chair is welcoming, while once seated it amplifies your presence.

The thin, flexible edges of the shell create a sense of shelter without closing the form, reinforcing the chair’s light and open character. This interplay between crisp tailoring and soft curvature gives Capo a distinctive silhouette, while remaining visually refined.

Capo is available in several variations to suit different environments. Leather, faux leather, felt and Alcantara can upholster the entire armchair or be used in contrasting combinations on the front and back. These materials, combined with the clarity of the chair’s form, allow Capo to sit comfortably in both domestic and contract settings.
