Cappellini MATHARE Rectangular oak dining table

Young Milanese designer Giacomo Moor joins the Cappellini creative team with Mathare, a furniture collection born from the study of a construction system designed to ensure stability and durability through a series of sequential joints, eliminating anything superfluous or decorative.‎ The modular repetition of legs, crossbars, and chains optimizes the production process, reinterpreting with simplicity and sophistication the concept of interlocking, which is traditionally associated with classic woodworking techniques.‎ The collection's name draws inspiration from a humanitarian initiative that saw Giacomo Moor involved in designing and crafting furniture for a school in Mathare, one of the largest slums in Nairobi, Kenya.‎ The designer sought to pay tribute to the strength and vitality of the local community by creating a furniture collection that combines industrial production principles with a project of deep social impact.‎ The Mathare collection features a bench and tables in various sizes, also available in a contract version for custom configurations.‎ All pieces in the collection are made of oak, offered in natural or black-stained finishes, as well as in the new open-pore lacquered version available in blue, green, and burgundy colours.‎
