70 years of history, of family, of culture and design, of industrial products, new materials and cutting edge technologies
In its seventy-year history, Kartell has devoted great attention to research, innovation and technological development processes. Quality, design and industrial products have distinguished its progress over time, starting from functional objects for domestic use which revolutionised the history of post-WWII design, through to the creation of the most sophisticated products which team manufacturing technology with innovative materials like carbon and biopolymers. The company’s history is intertwined with the dedication and passion of three generations who have been actively involved in the development and evolution of the brand.
Kartell is known for its industrial production of the finest quality design objects, with remarkable technological content, Made in Italy. From the choice of innovative and certified materials, to the use of advanced technologies, Kartell is able to guarantee users of its products a collection in which technology, quality, resistance and durability are part of its DNA.
The high level of stability and repeatability of the processes allows the minimisation of inefficiencies and waste, favouring productions with low polluting residues that are always fully recyclable.
Kartell loves the planet is the industrial manifesto with which Kartell intends to emphasise its commitment to sustainability and environmental friendliness. Passion for excellence, which has guided Kartell’s every move from the outset, has led the company to focus on environmental responsibility and good sustainability practices.
A Kartell product is a timeless product, which is produced with the utmost respect for the environment and destined - on completion of its function - to occupy museum spaces and join collectors’ assets. Kartell’s vocation is to create value: not simple objects, but pieces that can contribute towards building a cultural project; not objects that risk being cast aside when no longer used, but instead become treasured memories.
Kartell is a creative laboratory that feeds on the refined thoughts of the most famous Italian and international designers and architects in constant and continuous dialogue with the company and its technical staff to generate unique, functional and decorative products whose life after the use continues over time and feeds the collections of collectors and design museums.
With Kartell, they have developed a strong feeling through constant dialogue and exchange of ideas on each project until a perfect balance has been struck between their creative design experience and the company’s potentialities and requirements.
