Welcome to the second edition of our "Behind the Brand" series, where we delve into the stories and craftsmanship behind our prestigious design partners. Today, we are thrilled to spotlight Carpanelli, a brand that epitomises the fusion of tradition and innovation in high-end furniture design.
A Century-Long Heritage
Carpanelli’s journey began in 1919 when the talented cabinetmaker Giuseppe Carpanelli founded the company in a modest workshop dedicated to creating exceptional furniture using the finest Italian manufacturing techniques. Originally serving the Milanese nobility, the workshop quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional craftsmanship, especially in the art of marquetry, known as “Maggiolini.” Over the years, Carpanelli has continued to build on this legacy, evolving through three generations of passionate entrepreneurs and creative woodworkers.
Each generation of the Carpanelli family has interpreted the world of furniture with passion and creativity, distinguishing itself through a unique style and the quality of “Bello e Ben Fatto” products. The trust and satisfaction of loyal clients over the past 104 years are the best guarantees of quality and professionalism for all current and future customers.
The third generation, represented by Giuseppe, Angelo, and Daniele Carpanelli, continues to uphold the brand’s storied heritage while steering it into the future. Their dedication to maintaining the core values of Carpanelli, coupled with a keen eye on market trends and customer preferences, ensures that the brand remains relevant and revered.
Tradition Meets Innovation - Carpanelli Furniture
Carpanelli’s distinctive style is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Each piece is crafted from the finest materials, including wood, marble, leather, and metals, meticulously selected for their quality and aesthetic appeal. Giuseppe Carpanelli's creative vision is instrumental in guiding the design process, resulting in furniture that pays homage to its heritage while embracing contemporary influences.
The craftsmanship involved in creating a Carpanelli piece is akin to art. Skilled artisans bring designs to life with painstaking attention to detail, ensuring each product embodies the brand’s commitment to excellence. The result is furniture that exudes elegance and sophistication, making a timeless statement in any space.
Recognisable Carpanelli Style
The recognisability of the Carpanelli Style lies in its coherent experimentation, rooted in technical knowledge passed down through a century of history. This blend of tradition and innovation comes from the wise use of high-quality materials, championed today by architect Giuseppe Carpanelli. His original projects conceive refined and exclusive furniture that pay tribute to Carpanelli's origins while keeping up with the times.
The Creative Process
The creative phase at Carpanelli is an intricate process that monitors continuous changes in the market, adapting to new customer needs. The biggest challenge is to propose products in line with market trends while remaining faithful to the corporate DNA. The source of inspiration is Italian elegance, rooted in the art and architecture that have embellished Italian cities and culture for centuries.
The prototyping phase begins with an in-depth knowledge of the finest woods and their technical and aesthetic characteristics. Carpanelli's skilled cabinet makers then construct each piece with high manual expertise. This talent transforms design ideas into precious furniture, emphasising careful wood selection, professional painting, and highly skilled craftsmanship to create elegant, emotionally resonant pieces.
