Kartell Lighting

Bloom Pendant Light from Kartell

The history of the Italian furniture manufacturer Kartell began in the early 50s with the production of car parts made of plastic. Later, the Italian manufacturer moved on to produce laboratory equipment before expanding its portfolio with numerous furnishings and eventually developed from the 1970s into one of the most important producers of designer furniture and home accessories in Europe. Working in close cooperation with renowned international designers Kartell are constantly realising new, surprising, practical objects, including lighting objects. Kartell lighting such as the Bourgie lamp by Ferruccio Laviani are among the famous classics of the company, and, and as with much of the company's lighting portfolio, impress through the interplay of transparency, colour and lightness; combinations which allow the Kartell table, wall and pendant lights to express the infinite possibilities of plastic in ever new and unique ways.
