Designer: Leonardo di Caprio

Ziggy Cabinet by Leonardo di Caprio (Limited Edtion) at SUPER FUTURE

With his Hollywood-like name, Brazilian-Italian designer Leonardo di Caprio has already achieved a certain notoriety, and is most well-known for his indigenous-inspired cabinets. He is the founder and creative director of AuCap, a start-up brand specialised in mixing traditional furniture-making techniques with modern manufacturing processes in the name of contemporary creativity – a playful combination that clearly evokes both the colours and geometrical shapes of indigenous tribes’ jewellery. A selection of strictly Made-in- Brazil, cabinets are displayed in the exhibition, including Ziggy, featuring inlaid wood and complementary color pair blue-orange with white graphic and geometrical patterns. Such colourful cabinets, whose design results from extensive research on bracelets, necklaces and jewels worn by Brazilian tribes during indigenous rituals, will unveil cultural and emotional routes from across the ocean.
