Cappellini is almost always the main actor to every major design “event”. The latest edition of the Furniture Exhibition in Milan, but mostly the “Side Events to the Exhibition”, confirmed how important “Creating Opportunities” is for the Cappellini company and its goals.
There are two reasons, in particular, why “Creating Opportunities” is fundamental to our brand.
Firstly, it allows our company to convey its global project as accurately as possible.
Secondly, it enables it to pick up the reactions and attitudes of our end consumers.

“ABITARE IL TEMPO” in Verona is yet another “opportunity” to which Cappellini is one of the main actors/authors. In the latest edition of this event, Cappellini fostered an exhibition/conference on “Strategic Communication”.

IS “CREATING OPPORTUNITIES” A SYNONYM OF “STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION” TO YOU?
“Creating Opportunities” is an extremely important part of strategic communication projects, especially as it manages to make the corporate creed thoroughly and clearly public.

IN THE ENCOUNTER “OPPORTUNITIES”, DOES SOME SORT OF LONG-TERM “CIVIL AND CULTURAL” VALUE EXIST?
There is certainly a longer-term civil and cultural value that goes beyond the communication strategies of single companies. In such occasions, I fundamentally believe in the confrontation of various company projects and the different ways in which the leading companies publicise their corporate notions. These opportunities are extremely important for companies so that they can continuously question themselves.

WHAT TYPE OF CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY DO DESIGN AND COMMUNICATION COMPANIES HAVE?
Design and communication companies have a great civil responsibility towards the consumer and I feel that, for those who do not limit themselves in simply manufacturing good products but go on to deal with more complex projects, then this is having a proper corporate attitude. Therefore, being not only a good producer but also a company concerned with social and civil issues is what really makes the difference and greatly effects the world of consumption – in its attempt to improve it.

    The New York performance staged by Marina Abramovic, artist from Serbia and outstanding figure on the international artistic scene. An original performance took place at the New Museum of New York, using a very particular single illy collection cup which is decorated internally with gold paint and provided with a tiny little hole just below the rim through which the "coffee spirit" is released.

    TIME: FREE YOUR MEAT AND UNPACK YOUR MIND. The "story" begins with the image "time", where two girls start their journey to that other place. In the image "expe" they explore the new area.

    I took a photo of a coffee-pot in which its environment (in this case it's the table) is reflected, because it shows an unusual perspective of a common situation.

  • Melchior Imboden

    Photograph printed on big size canvas. Poster at the Exhibition of his 1978 - 1999 photographic production of cities all over the world, encompassing the idea of movement.

    Experimentation is the relationship between the world and their people. While adults, inhibited and influenced by their enviroment, develop ideas and dismiss them, children discover their world by game. Their heads are full of ideas and their game is the innovation of experimentation.

    TIME 2: Time is seen as a moment in which several different things happen. Represented in layers are the contrasting impressions you have in just one moment of time.

    "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET": WYSIWYG - Webspeech, innovative expression. In a relationship it's often more than "what you see" what a partner makes it worth to "get".

    EXPERIMENTING AND INNOVATING. The photos prompt the viewer to go into them on account of their not clearly visible objects. This is made possible from the seeming objectivity of the photography. The lens permits a deformity of the reality of an object, which is pictured. Therefore, the taken photography becomes a concrete reflection of the perception and the knowledge of each viewer.
