CAPITONNÉ – A CHOICE OF HOW TO LIVE

If you ever found yourself tested to conjure the images that would represent a Dickens Novel or the stories of Sherlock Holmes, what would come to mind? What would scream out to you in the most vivid shapes, textures, colours and form?

 

Take a moment to move away from the chimney laden streets and the dreariness of Victorian fog filled alleyways to think of interiors. Think of what the idea of a historic British sitting room would look like.

Distinctive design was everything. Accents would hold rooms and a guests attention, whilst detail was designed to enhance textures and patterns. In that way, design was a way to showcase to those looking in, just who we thought we were, and where we thought we belonged.

A style as distinctive as the capitonné would be found, one that requires few if any descriptions thanks to its inherent design features. As described by Webster’s Dictionary,  “to pad from caption silk or linen flock or a sleeve silk that gives a padded texture and effect”.

Windsor is capitonne for the modern age, as suited to today’s interior armoury as those of the 19th Century, finding place in today’s ever more minimalist designs to grandiose visions of interior decoupage. Whether it’s an apartment in Vienna to a mansion in Belgravia, the distinct style of what capitonne offers flows through every stitch and fiber.

 

      In Windsor we have captured the past and brought it into a vision of the present. We call it,

      “A modern masterpiece that understands the balance between British austere elegance with new-age           form and structure.”

Handmade, expertly crafted, a vision of modern elegance. Our homage to a style that asks for the best as a minimum.

We carry this throughout the exclusive range of furniture with the same name. Windsor Dream, a style that understands there is no such thing as compromise, especially on style as distinctive as capitonne allows you to be.

“Where you live doesn’t matter, how you choose to live does.”

CAPITONNÉ – A CHOICE OF HOW TO LIVE

Se ti sfidassimo a evocare un’immagine che, senza bisogno di parole, rappresenti un romanzo di Dickens o un’indagine di Sherlock Holmes, quale sceglieresti? Quali sagome, texture, colori e forme si farebbero strada prepotentemente nella tua fantasia?

 

Lascia perdere per un attimo la processione di comignoli e l’uggiosa foschia che riempivano i vicoli vittoriani e concentrati sugli interni. Sull’aspetto dei salotti britannici di una volta.

La parola d’ordine era originalità. Le stanze ruotavano intorno agli elementi d’accento, indispensabili per attirare l’attenzione degli ospiti, e i dettagli erano pensati per valorizzare fantasie e consistenze. Il design era un modo per spiegare agli altri chi volevamo essere, il nostro senso di appartenenza a qualcosa.

 

Fra queste note di stile, una che non poteva assolutamente mancare era il capitonné, una lavorazione talmente particolare da non aver nemmeno bisogno di presentazioni. Il dizionario la definisce  “un’imbottitura di mobili realizzata trapuntandone la superficie con una serie di bottoni o di semplici punti che formano un disegno geometrico.”

Windsor è l’alfiere del capitonné nell’era moderna, un divano a suo agio tanto nei saloni ottocenteschi quanto negli spazi living di oggi, tanto negli ambienti minimal quanto nella grandeur, fra decorazioni découpage d’altri tempi. In un appartamento viennese o in una villa principesca di Belgravia, la personalità unica del capitonné scorre in ogni punto e fibra.

Con Windsor, abbiamo voluto distillare l’essenza del passato e infonderla nella nostra visione del presente. Noi amiamo definirlo

“Un capolavoro moderno che comprende l’equilibrio tra l’austera raffinatezza british e una forma e una struttura new age”.

Realizzato a mano, modellato ad arte, una manifestazione di eleganza contemporanea. Un omaggio a uno stile che si accontenta solo del meglio.

Questi principi animano tutta l’esclusiva gamma di arredi che porta questo nome. Ad esempio Windsor Dream, un letto poco propenso ai compromessi, soprattutto quando si tratta di una tecnica sui generis come il capitonné.

“Non conta dove viviamo. È il come che conta.”
