Kartell, born in 1949 from the minds of Giulio Castelli and Anna Ferrieri, is an icon in contemporary design, focusing on plastic as an innovative material. Initially producing car accessories, they later shifted to home design. Collaborations with designers like Gino Colombini and Marco Zanuso brought about iconic pieces like the KS 1146 ice bucket and the k1340 chair. Kartell revolutionized the concept of plastic, making it synonymous with contemporary aesthetics. Thanks to Claudio Luti, the brand was relaunched in the 1980s. Today, with pieces like Ron Arad's Bookworm shelf and Philippe Starck's Bubble Club sofa, Kartell continues to embody innovation and Made in Italy.
