Kartell

Founded in 1949 by Giulio Castelli, Kartell is a leading design company and one of the symbols of Italian design around the world. A success story told through an enduring series of products by global design icons– Patricia Urquiola, Piero Lissoni, Antonio Citterio, Ferruccio Laviani, Philippe Starck, Oliver Lowe- Kartell furniture and lighting has become part of the domestic landscape.

The ongoing evolution in the use of plastics and experimentation with new technologies and recycled materials are fundamental for Kartell, which has always strived to innovate functional performance and aesthetic qualities. Kartell has introduced new properties such as satin-finish, transparency, flexibility, resistance to atmospheric agents, softness and touch to plastic in surprising and special colors, transforming the perception of a plastic from a merely functional object to a veritable luxury item.

Kartell know-how consists of pushing innovation to the limit, enabling designers to express their creativity with new technologies and materials in order to create real “industrial revolutions” within the home.
