Mads Caprani

Micheli Alessio "Mads" Caprani (1942 - 2014) was a Danish designer, particularly known for his charming and distinctive luminaires. But Caprani was not originally meant to be a lighting designer: as a child, little Mads was passionate about music. His path to the world of design started at the Technical College of Copenhagen, where he trained as an electrician and then as an electrical engineer. The famous Danish lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen was impressed by Caprani's technical skills and hired him. At Louis Poulsen, Caprani had the opportunity to work with some of the top names in Scandinavian design: Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton, and Poul Henningsen. These innovators sparked his interest in design.
