Giulio Cappellini is the founder and art director of the eponymous Italian furniture company Cappellini based in Milan. In 2004 the Company became part of the Poltrona Frau Group. In 2021, it was acquired by the American office furnisher Haworth Inc.
The company's collections are "known for tapping new trends and far-flung talents" and have included sofas, kitchen sinks, shelving and light fixtures "displayed in an industrial hangar far from the gold-plated shopping district along the Via Monte Napoleone." Described as a "tutti-frutti affair, with minimalism offered up alongside pop fashion, computer tech and amoebic forms", Cappellini's collections have included works by Jasper Morrison, Tom Dixon, Marc Newson, Marcel Wanders, Erwan & Ronan Bouroullec, Nendo, Michael Young, Satyendra Pakhale, Inga Sempé, Alessandro Mendini, Ora Ito, and Dror Benshetrit.
