ARTISTIC POTTERY

The artistic working process of pottery is a further confirmation of Cornelio Cappellini's multi-material approach to the choice of materials. Each piece, after being moulded with extraordinary artistic skill, is dried and put in the oven for the first baking that determines the hardening of the raw material. A second baking process defines the final colour, creating unique pieces, always different from each other.

HIGH TECH PRODUCTION PROCESSES

Technologically advanced production processes are often associated with artistic techniques. The use of high tech machineries allows Cornelio Cappellini a great precision in the realization of individual components destined to be assembled with other parts of the same product.

NATURAL LEATHERS

All Cornelio Cappellini leathers, carefully selected, are of bovine origin and they are characterized by a very soft-touch and a clearly visible natural grain. Nabuk is the most demanded and appreciated leather, thanks to a wide assortment of trendy colours.

HAND-BLOWN GLASS

Blown glass is one of the characteristic elements of some products of Hessentia collection. Each blown glass item is distinguished from the others by its uniqueness and it is practically impossible to make two products that look exactly the same. Many traditional techniques are handed down by the master-glassmakers operating in the Venice area, who are entrusted with the production for Cornelio Cappellini.

NATURAL WOOD

Wood is a living material, perfect to make every product exclusive and not replicable thanks to the intrinsic uniqueness of the material itself. When the master-craftsman cuts solid wood and veneer, he enhances the different veins and natural shades of this material.

DECORATIVE FABRICS

The search for sophisticated fabrics is one of the main elements in every interior design project by Cornelio Cappellini. A wide range of materials, from pure cotton velvet to ‘pastel’ effect one, from geometric fabrics to three-dimensional ones, is constantly updated following the latest market trends.

PRECIOUS MARBLES

The continuous search for precious and rare Marbles is the basis for the creation of products with a strong personality. Over time, Cornelio Cappellini has used marbles of Italian origin, such as Calacatta Oro and Fior di Pesco, but also others from overseas countries. Both Patagonia and Ocean Storm marbles, carefully selected for their intrinsic peculiarities, have become characteristic elements of some products of Hessentia collection.

METAL

Metals, initially used as structural elements, have assumed a decorative role in the creation of several products of the collection Hessentia. Brushed bronze finish, currently highly appreciated on the international market, has been added to shiny chrome and shiny gold finishes. The continuous search for new finishes has led to the development of further metal working methods such as engraving or frosting technique.

Rhino transposition

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI- RHINO-TRANSPOSITION-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-gypsum-ceramic-blue

One of the most modern artistic intuitions is related to the rhinoceros figure. The artwork is the result of a physical transposition, achieved through the section method. This transposition actually immobilizes the figure in a seemingly stable position, also characterized by the choice of a burly animal. The meaning of the artwork is evident. The artist instills the doubt through the real condition of the animal.

gypsum and ceramic

Dimensions:

52x32x24 cm

Blue Crystal

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-BLUE-CRYSTAL-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-canvas-blue-glasses-resin

The fundamental concept is the sign, the act of tracing the cut at the exact moment of inspiration. Modern art has already represented this kind of signs before, but in this artwork, they are now improved and embellished with colour and gems. The spatial sign is rediscovered. The artwork introduces a new way of understanding painting as a transition between the physical condition and the metaphysical space.

Materials:

canvas, blue glasses and resin

Dimensions:

70x70x6 cm

Artist:

Claudio Cappellini

Cosmos

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-COSMOS-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-metal-base-polystyrene-concrete-effect

The artwork represents the cosmos, an infinite and pure space from the spectator’s point of view. Inside there is life in motion and everything that happens is perceived with all our senses. “Cosmos” symbolizes the moment when our senses are still and are waiting for something that can happen. The artwork represents the inner feeling, all five senses ready to catch emotions.

Geisha

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-GEISHA-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-concrete-ceramic

‘Geisha’ consists of the concrete representation of this enigmatic symbol, which has a leading role in mysterious, ancient stories. The female figure is barely drafted as a modern mask with oriental features. The heart of this sculpture is the contrast between the Block of rough material and the harmonious aspect of the woman. The unrefined block represents the starting point of each artist, the primordial element which evolves, showing the beauty hidden inside it.

Materials:

concrete and ceramic

Dimensions:

31x50x27 cm

Artist:

Theory

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-THEORY-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-metal

This sculpture is studied to have a strong impact on the viewer: the web of metal blades describes the willpower and the freedom of choice. It can be defined as the celebration of contrasts: the first one between the simplicity of the material chosen by the artist and the extreme attention to details; the second one between the cold rigidity of the metal and the emotional abstraction of the meaning.

Materials:

metal

Dimensions:

65x40x20 cm

Artist:

Claudio Cappellini

Cosmos in Colours

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-COSMOS-IN-COLOURS-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-metal-polystyrene-concrete-acrylic

The artwork is the interpretation of the cosmos from the point of view of the artist that explores deeply the inner feelings that comes from the Earth through the power of colours. ‘‘Cosmos in colours’’ represents the contrast between Earth that is the symbol of concreteness and Cosmos that is the symbol of intangibility.

Materials:

metal base, polystyrene, concrete, acrylic colours

Harmonic Abstract

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-HARMONIC-ABSTRACT-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-jute

The digression of waves reflects harmony and gives access to undefined shapes. The rhythmic movement of the waves, curved alternately in opposite directions, expresses the eternal movement of materials and the life flows: the real force able to influence the space, warping the time and the outcome.

Materials:

jute

Dimensions:

84x105x9 cm

Structure

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-STRUCTURE-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-metal-rust-effect

Structure is a complex tangle of threads connected with one another. Each strand identifies the life flow of each of us, our time that casually intersects with other life journeys. Fortuity is what unites the world in a global concept. The artwork “Structure” symbolizes the complex relationships and existing bonds of an increasingly interconnected society.

Materials:

metal and rust effect

Dimensions:

81x126x12 cm

Artist:

Claudio Cappellini

Evolution

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-EVOLUTION-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-metal

This sculpture was inspired by the pursuit of perfection through the composition of reticular plates, which creates a heightened sense of order: a clearer vision of the reality in the light of a reassuring rationality. It has been chosen the square shape, which reminds of a concept of stability and defines the space and its limits.

Black Moose

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-BLACK-MOOSE-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-gypsum-silver-effect

Materials:

gypsum and silver effect

Dimensions:

49x43x22 cm

Artist:

Claudio Cappellini

Candlight

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-CANDLIGHT-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-synthetic-resins-foam-metal

Dimensions:

ø 12.5, H 70 cm

Artist:

Claudio Cappellini

Silver Emotions

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-SILVER-EMOTIONS-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-metal

Born into a reality based on superficial values, this artwork represents the breaking of the mirror, that has always been the symbol of what mostly makes people insecure. This extreme breaking means the research of a content that is hidden by a shallow reflection.

Materials:

metal

Dimensions:

55x200x10 cm

Artist:

Claudio Cappellini

Harmonic Circle

HESSENTIA-CORNELIO_CAPPELLINI-HARMONIC-CIRCLE-artwork-Claudio-Cappellini-wood-resin

Materials:

wood and resin

Dimensions:

ø 59 cm
