THE KARTELL UNIVERSE If Kartell were to be summed up in a word today, it would Mixage, which is the essence of the contemporary, represented in design, as well as art, literature, and fashion. With technological research and ideas constantly overlapping, the Kartell collection “mixes” and becomes part of increasingly varied universes through designs that reflect the contemporary way the world lives; no longer in a country or a specific geographical location, but rather in a proper global nation of interconnecting unique entities.

Kartell takes being an industrial brand to mean continuing to also “industrialise” its sales project, focusing on service and customisation, conversing with the client through the retail network connected and integrated to the company, which is given specific procedures to standardise the brand image, while customising the spaces based on where the shop is located.

And this is where new products come in; research into new frontiers in experimenting with materials and uses. 10 Corso Como, Milan
