Made in Portugal by De La Espada

The Capo series was initially designed for the Italian restaurant Capo in Shanghai, where the interior design concept was based on a basilica and possessed an old world charm of masonry enclosure appointed with handsomely crafted detailing. The chair series also takes on those qualities of heritage, where the simple and modern form is enriched with tailoring details that evoke old-world sensibilities. The Capo is a well-balanced equilibrium between sophistication and utility, between classic and contemporary aesthetic.
