CRAFTING SPACES FOR LIVING

NEW PRODUCTS
Kartell Milano Urban Horizons is the theme of the stand project at the Salone del Mobile 2024, celebrating the urban and architectural essence of Milan. The stand features a series of iconic monuments and buildings from the Lombard metropolis, depicted through bold graphic surfaces that create a futuristic urban skyline. These architectural elements provide a backdrop for showcasing new collections, designs, and mini-room settings on platforms throughout the exhibit.

NEW DOMESTIC HORIZONS

H.H.H. – HER HIGHEST HIGHNESS
Her Majesty the Chair” embodies the item that permeates our everyday lives, implicitly narrating our story. Philippe Starck elevates us to new heights with the H.H.H. – HER HIGHEST HIGHNESS chair. With unparalleled elegance and graphic impact, H.H.H. defines the very essence of the human interacting with it, compelling one to take a stance. Indeed, what would we be without the act of sitting, of “posing” before such a symbol of royalty and refinement? It transcends the mere notion of sitting, transforming every moment spent upon it into one of true majesty. The frame is crafted from polycarbonate 2.0, and the seat is available in various finishes: recycled leather with green tanning treatment, in black and tan colours, eco-friendly texture sourced partly from recycled material and partly from renewable sources in black and tobacco colours, and in super glossy finish in white, black, burgundy, rust, mustard, blue, grey and green.

PANORAMA | BELVEDERE | A.I. O.R.I. | C.KOYA

BELVEDERE
BELVEDERE is the new chair by Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba whose name is inspired by the Viennese Belvedere Palace, which houses the treasures and traditions of Austrian culture. This was the starting point for the design of this original chair that blends the culture of the Viennese chair-making world with Vienna straw and Kartell’s industrial capacity for research into new materials and new design solutions. The straw is the protagonist here, together with the carbon fibre frame, which makes it extremely light, materials that apparently do not converse, but which can perfectly represent a new creative idea to realise a totally new and original stylistic feature. These are two worlds that meet within a project that, with its precision, seeks to bring a symbol of elegance not looking to the past, but to a cross-sectional idea of calm and exacting elegance projected into the future.

ALBERT
ALBERT by Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba is a table that embodies Kartell’s ethos of merging classic elements and stylistic features into the contemporary world, reinterpreting them with unexpected materials. In this instance, the table’s legs pay homage to the past, drawing inspiration from the French craftsman André Charles Boulle of the late 18th century, who pioneered the sinuous leg aesthetic. Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba not only adopted this motif as a decorative theme but also integrated it as a structural element. Crafted from 100% recyclable aluminium, the table features an adaptable edge that accommodates a variety of tabletops. It is presented in a comprehensive colour range, utilising a large ceramic surface that offers an outdoor-friendly, highly durable version with an exceptional glossy finish. Depending on the tabletop finish, the same product can be seamlessly installed both indoors and outdoors, allowing for contrasting or tone-on-tone arrangements.

THE MILAN LIVING ROOM

AALAND
The new AALAND upholstered furniture collection designed by Patricia Urquiola is inspired by the imagery of archipelagos, those groups of neighbouring islands that create a feeling of cohesion in a fluid space. This distinctive concept permeates every element of the collection; the soft, organic shapes of the seats extend and merge, creating little islands that generate new spaces of comfort and togetherness. AALAND challenges the classical rules of upholstery to embrace free forms, unexpected and multifunctional shapes, going beyond traditional seating styles. The collection offers numerous small seats that, together, compose a landscape dotted with opportunities for socialising. Sofas, armchairs, large and small pouffes are presented as miniature islands, which connect and complement each other using an organic language. No upholstered piece stands alone, but all contribute to a cohesive whole. The upholstered items in the collection, individually designed in more compact sizes, offer the flexibility to be easily moved and rearranged as needed. Completing this landscape, we find three sizes of AALAND rugs, characterised by a unique graphic motif. This motif depicts two rounded organic shapes, each with different fillings, positioned close to each other and joined by a graphic element, a kind of stitching. This feature creates a visually striking effect, further enriching the visual impact and vibrancy of the surrounding space.

AALAND | CORTEZA | WISEWISE | JEWEL

CORTEZA
Patricia Urquiola’s CORTEZA side-tables and planters that complete the collection are made of recycled material, with striations reminiscent of the plant world, giving them the appearance of natural barks. These elements include a side-table, a coffee table and two planters, which blend perfectly into the environment, giving it a natural and harmonious touch.

WISEWISE
WiseWise by Piero Lissoni represents an innovative mini-architecture system, characterised by a structural framework based on pillars capable of hosting modular boxes. This versatile system can serve as storage or as a foundation for creating actual furnishings such as bookcases, consoles, or sofa accessories. It reflects a lateral approach, a sort of intrinsic design scale inherent to Kartell. WiseWise embodies the continuous pursuit and evolution of design in the direction undertaken by the company. Thanks to its flexibility and modularity, this system enables exploration of a wide range of creative possibilities, allowing for adaptation of interior architecture according to needs and personal tastes.

JEWEL
JEWEL by Fabio Novembre is a design that enhances Kartell’s visual appeal, renewing the brand’s tradition of working on transparent, moving surfaces. A table cut like a gem with its striking transparency and sparkling reflections dancing on the multiple facets that define it. Regardless of its context, the Jewel table stands like a gem, capable of embellishing the surrounding atmosphere with its timeless elegance. It is more than just a piece of furniture: it is a statement of style, a tribute to beauty that can transform any setting.
