Disney’s Adult Furniture Adventure
Posted on | April 14, 2010 |
After posting the Coke-Emeco eco chairs, it’s now time to post the Disney-Cappellini eco chairs…
Disney, in partnership with Cappellini launched an upscale furniture range targeting not the Miley Cyrus fans, but us, adults.
The best thing about this sleek Disney Furniture line is that, you’ll not see much of Donald Duck imagery or Hannah Montana inspiration. A lot of colors, yes. But guaranteed, no Alladin.
From the photos I saw, the closest you’ll get with the Disney character is the one below, the stylistic one that has Mickey image as the base design.

If you’re not feelin the design above and really want a table with Mickey all over, why not take a look at this… Mickey Sala Set w/ Center Table from PhilippinesGiftShop.com. Awesome.
The other 3 chairs from Disney-Cappellini collaboration are…
Making the connection between fashion and design, Cappellini’s Rive Droite chair by Nourget seamlessly fuses a pure, modern shape, with the graphic pattern of Mickey’s overlapping silhouette. The bold, daring palette illustrates both Walt Disney Signature and Cappellini’s fearless approach to color.
Eco Fish Reduce. Reuse. Recline. An organic shape inspired by nature, Cappellini’s Fish Chair by Pakhalé is the ideal way to showcase the latest advancement in fabrication - an opaque, multi-hued plastic created from recycled materials. Through this collaboration, Cappellini and Walt Disney Signature stay true to a shared legacy: an unyielding desire to preserve the earth for the next generation of innovators - reminding us that it truly is "a small world after all”.
Y’S Mickey. The very fabric of design. With its rounded contours and unique design, Cappellini’s Y’s De Lux Chair by Pillet is the perfect canvas on which to embroider one of our signature icons: a subtle geometric pattern using Mickey’s silhouette. Together, Cappellini and Walt Disney Signature celebrate innovation and ingenuity, bringing artists' sketched lines to life.
Too bad, folks in the Philippines will always and forever have a hard(est) time getting pieces like these. As a consolation for those who love the chair but will not be able to get em, let’s just play my favorite “hotdog” video/music…
DISNEY PRESS RELEASE:
Walt Disney Signature, Disney’s first upscale, inspired, non-character, adult lifestyle brand and Cappellini, one of the most renowned design innovators worldwide, today unveiled five limited edition chairs at the Milan Furniture Fair in Italy. The combination of Cappellini’s reputation for innovation and the magic and inspiration of Disney has produced a series of everyday products that resemble works of art.
This introduction follows the success of Walt Disney Signature’s dining installation in collaboration with Cappellini for last month’s Dining By Design DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) event in New York City.
A 3-dimensional sculpting of Mickey Mouse sitting on a giant chair, previously used for the DIFFA event display, was recreated at Fuori Salone, Milano Design Village to mark today’s launch. The Mickey sculpture is made of polyurethane, measures more than three metres tall and weighs 40 kilos.
“Walt Disney and Cappellini both have a shared approach to design, creativity and collaboration that turns everyday products into functional works of art,” commented Pamela Lifford, executive vice president, Home and Fashion, Disney Consumer Products. “Collaborating with a leading Italian design brand specialising in contemporary furnishings like Cappellini is another exciting step in continuing Walt Disney Signature’s philosophy on design and innovation.”
“This collaboration is the premise for a joint Cappellini and Walt Disney Signature stylistic commitment that promises to become a new, interesting and exciting chapter in the history of contemporary design, combining Cappellini’s strong inclination for innovation with the magical creativity of Disney,” added Giulio Cappellini, Art Director for Cappellini.
The Ribbon stool and the Fish Chair, Y’s de Luxe and Rive Droite armchairs are embellished with patterns, each one with a different image and underlying theme. The Ribbon’s new profile blends Cappellini design with the outline of Disney’s most famous character, Mickey Mouse; Y’s de Luxe and Rive Droite reflect and multiply the same image in striking processed fabrics; the Fish Chair’s shape is inspired by nature found in many Disney films like Bambi and produced in recycled material. Products will be available to the public in late Spring 2010.
Hoooo, with no new Leoque furniture to post, our site/shop is becoming more of a furniture blog. :-)
