Design Story
Kartell® Form The clean design and moderate contours of the Form Chair by Kartell inspires numerous styling options. A light piece with a slim profile and wide seat, Form is both comfortable and inviting. Link several of these chairs together to save space or create a classically modern custom configuration. Form is ideal for both home and business use, such as in waiting rooms or hotel reception areas. The basic element of the Form series is a seat which is both spacious and of ergonomic design, formed by a sheet of semi-structural polyurethane and lying on a light, chromed steel structure. It has a wide and comfortable seat, whose outline shows the result of meticulous research into the thickness of the material. This research has enabled a reduction in thickness to only 3 cm, without compromising solidity, resistance, and flexibility. The series can be overlapped by placing the armchairs side by side and hooking them together freely to form long benches. An integral part of the article are the side-tables in polyester-lacqured MDF, which are meant to be suspended between two chairs. Width: 33.38” 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. |
