Matter, before the form.
The metal as the source of the project. A solid precise material transformed to achieve lightness.
No noise, only presence.
Forms that do not seek attention. They get it.
L’Harmonie du Silence.
The 2026 Collection was born from the convergence of two areas of expertise: the knowledge of metal honed by Schiapparoli over almost thirty years of metalworking and a new vision for design which explores the full range of expressive possibilities.
The metal is not treated as merely a simple structural element. It becomes a material that is visible, pierced by light, bent, perforated and shaped to the point to lose part of its own apparent rigidity.
Tables, console tables, lamps and sculptures are constructed around the same principle: to achieve presence without excess, character without superfluous decoration.
Every piece arises from the relationship between form and void, surface and light, industrial precision and human intervention.
Collection 2026
Design by Luca Guastoni
The 2026 Collection is designed by Luca Guastoni for Schiapparoli.
The project starts from the material and from the possibilities offered from the working of metal, without seeking to conceal its nature.
Cuts, interlacing, curves and openwork become part of the language of the object. The void takes on the same value as the surface and allows the light to alter continuously the perception of shapes.
The result is an essential yet recognisable collection, in which the aesthetic exploration remains closely linked to possibility of actually constructing every element.
The design is not applied to the material after production: it emerges alongside it.
Schiapparoli was founded in 1996, drawing on the experience of Paolo and Giuseppe Schiapparoli as a workshop specialising in sheet metal working.
Over the years, the company has developed expertise in the processing of iron, aluminium and stainless steel, combining advanced manufacturing techniques with finishing processes carried out directly within the workshop.
Cutting, bending, punching, welding and structural metalwork have become part of a technical heritage built up through projects for various sectors characterised by high precision requirements.
With the Collection 2026, this experience opens a new chapter.
An understanding of the material, its possibilities and its limitations forms the starting point for a design collection developed and produced by Schiapparoli.
This is not a departure from its industrial roots, but their natural evolution: from the ability to realise a project to the ability to imagine it.
Every piece in the 2026 Collection is the result of a direct dialogue between design and production.
The metal is cut, bent, perforated, welded and finished at the Schiapparoli factory, where technical expertise and production technologies enable the material to be worked with precision.
Iron, aluminium and stainless steel are processed using different methods depending on the shape, function and desired effect.
This is where design meets the material.
A continuous dialogue between the design team and the workshop allows for the control of proportions, structure, details and finishes right through to the final result.
Designed and made in Italy.
The nature of production at Schiapparoli enables us to go beyond the standard product.
Dimensions, finishes and some features of the elements of the collection can be assessed in relation to specific requirements of a particular project.
Architects, interior designers and professionals can get in touch directly with the company to explore configurations and solutions tailored to their needs.
Schiapparoli puts its own experience in manufacturing at the disposal of architects, interior designers and professionals in the design sector.
Our first-hand knowledge of the processes involved in manufacturing enables us to assess dimensional adjustments, finishes specific, customised productions and solutions developed for different contexts of use.
From technical testing to production, the discussion takes place directly with the company.
The collection takes shape in the same place where the metal is worked.
Cutting, bending, welding and finishing demonstrate this which normally remains behind the finished object: the process required to transform a design into material.
