Sébastien Caporusso is a Belgian designer with Italian roots who is passionate about the decorative arts. He excels in producing objects of otherworldly beauty by mixing noble materials, organic shapes and unusual lines in his furniture and lighting. He favours locally sourced materials such as stone, brass and marble, working with the best Belgian craftsmen to create his pieces. Immersing oneself in the imagination of this interior architect and designer is not a linear journey, but rather a dreamlike interpretation of materials. His talent lies in combining beautiful materials to create unexpected scenographies — eclectic mixes of objects and colours from his own universe. The symbolic forms of his work are characterised by organic outlines as well as majestic, one-of-a-kind cuts. Sébastien has a preference for rare, irregular and unique objects. «I use noble materials in my work, but never overly ostentatious ones, to fit into the spaces I am redesigning or to embellish the furniture I have designed. The worn walls of a Venetian palazzo inspire me, as does oxidised bronze. I like materials with a history.
It’s about a past that has been lived, like the cobbled pavements of Rio or the Engawa planks in Kyoto. «At every moment, my projects are about natural materials, soft colours and minerals,» states Caporusso. Caporusso excels in producing such pieces of otherworldly beauty for the gallery within the Intermezzo Collection, mixing noble materials, organic shapes and unusual lines in his furniture and lighting. Spazio Nobile has represented him since 2018.
