Carpanelli: A New Touch of Elegance

For Carpanelli "A New touch of elegance" is a way of thinking and living that involves all areas of life, bringing beauty, elegance and essentiality into our daily life: a beauty of unusual things. It is a style that dresses the space with charm and suggestion, preferring textures that are soft to the touch and with a high aesthetic quality: metals, marbles and material finishes are mixed; using soft fabrics and opaque materials, in this way, generating sophisticated spaces, not at all trivial although minimal.

The choice of materials is an elegant chromatic path that crosses the richness of neutral and natural tones where the identity of each color is enhanced by the presence of the others. The materials: woods with customized textures with a “chevron” motif, the preciousness of marble, metals and curved wood shapes that refer to sculptural elements; the durability of the leather details and the softness of the leather which is silky and delicate to the touch. It is a tactile and material exploration from smooth surfaces such as marble to the more irregular ones with natural grain (linen, woods, plasters). And finally a refined visual experience dictated by the refinement of the “hand made” elements and by the effects of the refraction of light. Natural light becomes the undisputed protagonist and the furniture seems to have been chosen and arranged to enhance it.

Carpanelli's history dates back over a hundred years and spans three generations of passionate entrepreneurs and creative woodworkers. Tell us your story, from the beginning to its current success.

One hundred and four years, three generations: a century of history of the Carpanelli family during which each generation has expressed passion and creativity through their furniture, standing out for its original style and the quality of a Made in Italy product that is"Bello e Ben Fatto"[tn. “Beautiful and well made” is used to describe Italian manufacturing that promotes the Italian way of life to the world]. The trust and satisfaction of loyal clients who have given us their patronage for over 100 years are the best guarantee of quality and professionalism for all current and future customers.

The third generation - represented by Giuseppe, Angelo, and Daniele - has picked up the baton in reaffirming the commitment to our corporate identity while modernizing by regularly monitoringmarket trends and adapting to new customer needs. Our biggest challenge has been to come up with products aligned with changes in the market while remaining true to our corporate DNA.

These are our everyday challenges, which allow us to grow and motivate us to give it our all. Today, Carpanelli renews its catalog and sales strategies to better acquaint itself with new customers and purchasing dynamics.
