Recently we hosted a series of hands-on workshops with Cappellini at Cult showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Local designers were invited to unleash their creativity and colour the brand's iconic products with watercolour paint. We were blown away by the talent and enthusiasm of the attendees, who brought their own unique styles and interpretations to the iconic Cappellini pieces for the chance to win a range of generous prizes from the brand.
Founded in 1946 by Enrico Cappellini, Cappellini is an Italian furniture and lighting brand that has become synonymous with contemporary, avant-garde design.
Enrico's son, Giulio Cappellini, judged over 100 entries from our watecolour workshop series, read on to see his top thee selections plus more imagery from the events and stunning artworks of iconic pieces from the Cappellini collection created by the talented workshop attendees!
