Cappellini’s 2016 Collection takes us on a trip around the world. Giulio Cappellini has once again shown us his ability to find new talents across the globe. Abie Abdillah, from Jakarta, has designed rattan seating. A Swedish designer created a wood and embroidered seat that takes inspiration from nature, with the figures of deer in the woods, polar bears on ice, and a heron in the swamp. Mac Stopa, from Poland, founder of Massive design, created “Drum”, an imposing armchair and ottoman. Sebastian Herkner, who was born and continues to live and work in Germany, designed “Telo Lounge”, a series of modular chairs in metal and grosgrain. Another German, Werner Aisslinger, designed the “Juli-Jubilee” chair, upholstered in a floral pattern. Belgian-born Maarten De Ceulaer designed “Nex Mutation”, an ottoman that resembles cell structure. Luisa Kahlfeldt, hailing from Berlin, created the “Next Cardboard Stool”, made of rolled cardboard. The English designer Martjin Rigters molded a sofa much like pleated fabric.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
