Design Story
Kartell® Flip Trolley Named for its top that folds for compact storage, Flip Trolley by Kartell is a perfectly-sized mobile surface for meetings, buffets, wherever you need portability. Flip is lightweight and surprisingly sturdy with strong plastic shelves and frame crafted of chrome plated steel. A new folding trolley joins the Kartell collection: Flip, which successfully combines plastic trays with a metal frame. The trays are made from PMMA lenticular sheets, constituting the utmost expression of practicality and sophisticated design. Flip can be used as a trolley, ideal for aperitifs and buffets, but also as a handle coffee table (the trays are independent). When folded up, it occupies a very small space, making it easy to store. Dimensions: Kartell® Flip Trolley Kartell History  Founded by chemical engineer Giulio Castelli in 1949 in Binasco, Italy, the Kartell Company rose to prominence in the 1950s along with the growing international recognition of Italian design as a leading force following the Second World War. One of the original goals of the company was to replace the traditional glassware in science laboratories with plastic. Focused scientific analysis of the properties of plastic, combined with design creativity, gradually led to the production of stylish plastic goods for the home market. In 1972, Kartell participated in the Italy: The New Domestic Landscape exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Many leading Italian designers in the second half of the 20th century have designed for Kartell, including Gae Aulenti (the Jumbo table of 1965), Achille and Pier Castiglione (lighting), Joe Columbo (the ABS stacking chair no. 4860), and Richard Sapper, who collaborated with Marco Zanuso on a range of colorful polyethylene children's chairs, which won a Compasso d'Oro in 1964. In the 1980s, Kartell began hiring more designers whose names were already widely known, including the great French designer Philippe Starck (who designed a number of products for the company, including the tubular steel and plastic Dr Glob chair of 1988). The Kartell Company has become synonymous with innovation, winning numerous awards throughout its 60-year history. Today, Kartell Italy utilizes a team of internationally acclaimed designers to produce accessible, unique designer household goods and furnishings on wish lists the world over. |
