Kartell is the leading design company founded in Milan in 1949. Kartell is one of the symbols of Italian design around the world. A success story told through an incredible series of products – furniture, furnishings, lighting, home accessories – that have become part of the domestic landscape, not to mention actual contemporary design icons.
Kartell is considered the world leading manufacturer of original Italian design classics, made in Italy, from plastic. Continuing to push the scientific limits of the material, Kartell works closely with designers to make plastic engaging and desirable. Colours, irony, transparency effects and unique shapes for unique items make authentic Kartell products immediately recognizable. World famous designers collaborate with Kartell, including Philippe Starck, Ron Arad, Piero Lissoni, Alberto Meda, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Antonio Citterio, Patricia Urquiola, Fabio Novembre, Jean Marie Massaud, Nendo, Front, Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, ecc. These creative collaborations manage to find a perfect balance between each designer`s project experience and the company`s potential and demands. Accessories from Kartell cover a broad range of designs and functions, but always carry that unmistakable use of colour, excitement and joy inherent in Kartell`s collection.
Today Kartell has over 130 single-brand flagship stores, 250 shop-in-shops and 2500 retailers in over 130 countries.
