Capo Armchair
The Cappellini Capo Armchair by Doshi Levien uses a hat-like shell to create an enclosing seat above a slender metal base.
Resin and molded polyurethane shape the body, finished with fixed fabric or leather upholstery. Front and back can use contrasting coverings, and a matching footrest extends the composition with the same material and color possibilities.
Every detail, considered.
