Salon Maison & Objet, Paris - Capo d'opera



A word by Capo d'opera

The Capo d'opera brand is consolidating its presence in the world of contemporary furniture with this work instrument, rich in settings, ideas and concepts. Its purpose is to facilitate the approach to living-area projects by design loving professionals, eager for innovation, and who can find in Capo d'opera the ideal partner for extremely flexible and unique solutions.


Why Capo d'opera?

In Medieval workshops, the apprentice who wished to join one of the Arts and Crafts Guilds was expected to submit his "CAPODOPERA" (work of art). In other words, he had to prove, through a aprticularly precise and accurate piece of work, that he had acquired a remarkable store of skills, knowledge and credibility. In the same spirit, Capo d'opera meets this challenge every day by creating top-level products offering amazing aesthetic quality and functionality.


For years Capo d'opera has been concentrating on the study of surfaces, offering an extremely wide variety of products. A great many solutions are available, as well as colour combinations. We,ve never managed to count the possible arrangements, numerous enough for the "Guiness book of records". It is often the case that Capo d'opera piece of furniture is manufactured as a unique item, so that it becomes and extremely valuable "exclusive piece".





Avant-Scène Favorites:

We were really impressed with the quality of these products, but most of all, we were impressed with how inventive and customizable every piece of furniture was. The surfaces are extraordinary.
