About Us

Still Objects began with a shared appreciation for the quiet power of well-chosen things.

Together the founders, Sue Capelli and Andrianna Frinzi, have spent decades immersed in the world of thoughtful design, interiors, and meaningful objects.

Sue has built her career helping clients shape homes that feel both timeless and personal. Through Passione, her Irvine-based design practice, she has long focused on the details that make a space feel intentional, from materials and textures to the objects that quietly define a room.

Andrianna began Gifts By A with a similar philosophy applied to gifting: that the most meaningful objects are the ones chosen with care. Her work as a gift concierge centers on thoughtful sourcing and curation, helping clients find pieces that feel lasting, personal, and distinctive.

Beyond their professional paths, Sue and Andrianna share something even longer standing—a friendship that spans decades. Over the years, they found themselves drawn to the same kinds of objects: pieces discovered while traveling, found through artisans, or collected simply because their form and character felt timeless.

Still Objects grew from that shared instinct. We believe a home evolves the same way a collection does: gradually, thoughtfully, and with objects that continue to feel meaningful over time.

Our Philosophy

We believe the objects we bring into our homes shape how we live with them.

A well-chosen piece carries more than function. It holds the touch of the maker, the character of its materials, and the quiet presence that develops as it becomes part of everyday life.

At Still Objects, we approach collecting slowly and intentionally. Each piece we offer is chosen for its form, craftsmanship, and ability to live comfortably in a range of spaces. Rather than chasing trends, we focus on pieces that will remain as relevant years from now as they are today.

Our collections are released in thoughtful edits throughout the year, allowing us the time to source well, select carefully, and present objects we truly believe in.

The Founders 

Sue Capelli 

Founder, Passione

Sue Capelli has spent her career helping clients create homes that feel both refined and deeply personal. Through Passione, her Irvine-based interior design practice, she works closely with clients to shape spaces that balance architecture, materials, and the objects that bring a room to life.

Her work reflects a long-standing appreciation for craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Over the years, she has developed a particular eye for the smaller details—ceramics, vessels, textiles, and sculptural objects that quietly anchor a space.

Still Objects grew naturally from this perspective: the belief that a home is built not only through design, but through the meaningful pieces that inhabit it.

Andrianna Frinzi 

Founder, Gifts By A

Andrianna Frinzi founded Gifts By A with the simple idea that finding the right gift for someone is an art in itself.

Her work as a gift concierge centers on thoughtful sourcing, helping clients navigate the often overwhelming process of finding meaningful pieces for important moments. Through years of curating gifts and objects for clients, she developed a keen instinct for pieces that feel personal, distinctive, and lasting.

Still Objects extends that philosophy into the home bringing together objects chosen with the same level of care and intention.
