| Salone del Mobile 2006: Kartell

April 11, 2006 _fairs

Kartell had a very impressive stand. It covered 900 sqm and the company's entire collection since the beggining till the brand new products.
Optic (in the picture below) is the new stool designed by Patrick Jouin; the cube has a geometrically faceted surface but the effect is as natural as water.
Omnipresent Starck presented the series of coffee tables Top Top with their combination of different materials, shapes and finishes; the rotating moulded stool Royal T and the, at least strange if not more, stool Chicos (all the images after the jump).
For the first time Marcel Wanders joined the selected group of designers working for Kartell, he presented Stone, a jewel-like stool with an irregular surface. Also Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec joined for the first time, they designed a lovely transparent container, Panier, available in a wide colour palette.
The prolific (and always surprising) designer Patricia Urquiola presented the final version of her T Table, with decorated top.
My own favourite designer Alberto Meda presented a folding chair made of honeycomb plastic and metal. Antonio Citterio introduced a refined, high performance trolley, Flip. Piero Lissoni showed a series of upholstered sofa and armchair with transparent structure and high visual impact print.
