A true representation of innovation and material excellence, Kartell chairs push the boundaries of design defining themselves as timeless elements within any environment from the dining room to the office. Amongst the most distinctive pieces the transparent simplicity of Philippe Starck’s Louis Ghost, a ground breaking chair which redefined the world of contemporary seating, and the Masters chair with its sinuous silhouette playing a stylish game between space and form, a modern revisitation of iconic chair designs of the past.
Kartell lamps and chandeliers reflect the brand’s eclectic nature, a collection of innovative unexpected designs which distinctively illuminate spaces both inside and out. From the unmistakable decorative form of the bestselling Bourgie table lamp with its sculptural base and pleated shade creating a captivating lighting effect, to the lace-like structure of the Kabuki floor lamp, with its suggestive light the perfect solution to distinguish both interior and exterior settings, Kartell lights demonstrate the company’s supreme aesthetic versatility.
An example of iconic simplicity, the Componibili collection designed by Anna Castelli in 1967 has become a classic element in the Kartell portfolio, ever contemporary and innovative in its design. The modular containers, supremely flexible and practical, are at home in a broad range of contexts from the office to the bathroom, the stackability of the single units and the broad range of colours and metallic, opaque and matt finishes defining a highly personalisable system, which continues to evolve, now also available in recycled material.
With a defined manifesto “Kartell loves the planet” Kartell outlines its commitment to minimising the impact of its design and manufacturing on the environment. In working towards continued sustainability with technical innovation and development, research into new high-performance materials and improved industrial processes, Kartell maintains best production practice and a eco-friendly responsible approach, which builds on the brand’s established green credentials and continuing responsibility towards the world around us.
