In collaboration with well-known designers such as Philippe Starck, Maarten Van Severen, Piero Lissoni or Michele de Lucchi Kartell have been creating for over 50 years groundbreaking designer furniture made of plastic. Futuristic forms, ironically poppy elements and intense colours play a central role; while the designs represent far more than just functional spatial units, namely independent works of art of individual character. The beginnings of Kartell lie in the ambitions of the chemist Giulio Castelli, who founded the company in 1949 - and initially not to produce furniture, but on the production of plastic parts for cars was focused. Later in the company's history, in addition to household utensils, laboratory equipment was added, and in the 1960s the assortment was expanded to include the famous furnishings such as the Kartell Componibili containers, the Bourgie table lamp or the designer Ghost Chair. As a result of numerous international awards, Kartell quickly became a recognised name in the world of designer furniture, and new Italian design of the 70s found its ideal expression in Kartell.
