The De La Espada Capo Lounge Armchair is a thoughtfully crafted piece that blends old-world charm with modern simplicity. Originally designed for the Italian restaurant Capo in Shanghai—where the interior concept drew from basilica architecture—the chair inherits that sense of history and refinement. Designed by acclaimed studio Neri&Hu, the Capo Lounge Armchair embodies their ability to create functional objects that evoke narrative, memory, and material depth.

This lounge version is relaxed in posture but rich in presence. The simple, modern form is elevated through subtle tailoring details and a sculptural frame that balances structure with softness. Generously proportioned with carefully angled back and arms, the chair invites rest and conversation while maintaining a refined silhouette suitable for both residential and contract settings.

Crafted in De La Espada’s solar-powered factory in Portugal, each piece reflects an exceptional level of material integrity and craftsmanship. Solid wood is responsibly sourced from North America or Europe, emphasizing natural grain variation and long-term surface repairability. The chair is assembled using traditional joinery bonded with wood glue for lasting strength, and all finishes are non-toxic and applied by hand, enhancing the natural beauty of the timber.

As part of the broader Capo collection—including dining chairs, bar stools, and other lounge variations—this armchair extends a cohesive design language into a relaxed seating option, perfectly suited to interiors that favor a balance of heritage and modernity.
Designed by Neri&Hu

Created by the acclaimed Shanghai-based studio Neri&Hu, the Capo series reinterprets heritage through a modern lens, emphasizing raw beauty, tailored detail, and storytelling through material and form.

Old-World Charm, Modern Form

Inspired by the interior of a basilica, the design blends classic architectural influences with clean, contemporary lines to create furniture that feels both timeless and current.

Heritage-Inspired Detailing

Subtle design accents such as refined seams and material transitions reference old-world tailoring, bringing warmth and depth to the chair’s otherwise minimal and modern silhouette.

Expertly crafted in the De La Espada workshop

De La Espada's workshop, located near Portugal's Silver Coast, is a testament to the country's rich heritage of craftsmanship. Embracing both traditional and modern woodworking techniques, skilled craftspeople collaborate with designers from around the world to produce exceptional pieces that honour the legacy of Portuguese artisanship.
