Original Capod'opera | Product accompanied by certificate of authenticity
From Kitchens to Living Collections
The first products launched by Capod'opera were kitchens and the Mediterranea and Metropoli collections — which already embodied the brand's philosophy: detail and decoration as value. In 1998, Settanta arrived — the first furniture piece, drawn with a drafting machine at a time when nothing like it existed on the market: an innovative living area collection composed of independent modules that redefined domestic spaces. In 1999, the collaboration with designer Alessio Bassan began, giving rise to iconic pieces capable of fusing geometric rigour with expressive freedom. These were the years in which Capod'opera found its DNA: a company able to restore to furniture the power of a personal narrative.
Surfaces Collection: Material as Signature
In 2007, Capod'opera published the Surfaces Catalog — a document that changed the rules of the industry: a compendium of innovative treatments and finishes that no other brand had systematised with such breadth. 3D effects, natural and geometric motifs, gold, silver, and bronze leaf, resin pours, abrasions, and incisions in wood — every surface is the result of artisan research that brings each piece to the boundary between furniture and work of art. All pieces are fully customisable in the choice of textures, colours, and finishes, making every interior design project unique and unrepeatable.
Capod'opera Art: When Furniture Meets Contemporary Art
Capod'opera goes beyond design: through the Capod'opera Art project, the brand activates collaborations with renowned and emerging artists to produce limited editions of one-of-a-kind pieces, in which the functional purpose of the furniture dissolves into the artwork. This vocation for artistic cross-pollination is consistent with the brand's entire philosophy: every creation is born — pencil in hand — from feelings, states of mind, and the desire to communicate a precise lifestyle. Designer Silvano Pierdonà signs the Groove collection, an emblematic example of how formal rigour and craftsmanship can coexist in a single chest of drawers.

The Collections: Three Spaces, One Language

- Living: sideboards, credenzas, modular systems, and accent pieces for the day area — the heart of the Capod'opera offer, where the treated surface becomes an architectural element of the room
- Dining: tables (Bold, Hi-Deck, Deville), chairs, credenzas, and lamps composing a refined and eclectic language for the dining area
- Night: fully accessorisable wardrobes, bedside tables (Groove, Dream-On, Another Day), chest of drawers, and bedroom accessories — with endless combinations of form, dimension, colour, and texture
- Mirrors and accessories: the Grex and Peep series complete the offer with contemporary-design mirrors, available with integrated LED lighting
