Giuliano & Gabriele Cappelletti

For Giuliano and Gabriele Cappelletti, design is a language capable of transforming ideas and emotions into tangible forms. Their collaboration with Riva 1920 stems from a desire to explore the connection between memory, material, and innovation, contributing to the Rialto collection, where each piece tells a story through the combination of materials and artisanal details. The success of the collection marked the beginning of an increasingly close relationship between the Cappelletti duo and Riva 1920, leading to the creation of numerous other collections that continue to evolve and expand their shared design language. Raised in Brianza, the heart of Italy’s renowned manufacturing tradition, Giuliano and Gabriele refined their approach by working side by side with artisans, learning to value the creative process as much as the final result. They collaborate with companies and professionals who share their passion for design and believe in developing a project as a journey to be nurtured until it reaches its full potential. The studio, founded in 1970, has expanded its scope from product and industrial design to architecture and interior design, embracing every facet of the creative process.
