Kartell
Color and imagination, but also an excellent technical mastery of the materials: with these weapons, Kartell has managed to make the most of a traditionally economical material such as plastic, creating products with a high design content perfect even for the  most luxurious homes. Founded in 1949 by the chemical engineer Giulio Castelli, Kartell started its production with small high-level design objects, developing over time on increasingly consistent sizes and shapes, thus arriving to offer colorful and functional furnishing accessories with affordable prices to everyone. Recognized the high potential of plastic materials and thanks to the fruitful collaboration with the architect Gino Colombini, in the following years Castelli was able to undertake a long series of experiments that led to the conquest of the first Compasso d'Oro in 1955. In those same years the lighting division was inaugurated with the first collection signed by the Castiglioni brothers.Read more

Designed by

Piero Lissoni

Piero Lissoni
Piero Lissoni (1956-) is one of the most appreciated contemporary Italian designers. In addition to his furnishings, with a rigorous and elegant minimalism, he combines the ability to build and communicate the identity of the brands he collaborates with at 360 °, creating a truly unmistakable "Lissoni style". Versatile and intelligent, he left an indelible mark on some of the most important Italian brands, starting with his first collaborations with Living Divani and Boffi, companies of which he still remains the main signature. In addition to these, he is also the artistic director of the brands De Padova, Lema, Porro, Lualdi and of the luxury yachts Sanlorenzo. He has designed products for almost all the great brands of Italian design, from B&B Italia to Cassina, from Flos to Kartell, from Glas Italia to Cappellini. Over the years, his studio has also proved to be a great forge of talents: it is there that great names in design such as Patricia Urquiola, David Lopez Quincoces, Felicia Ferrone and many others took their first steps in the future.Read more
