Design Story
Kartell® La Boheme The La Boheme Stool updates a classic silhouette with five eye-catching colors. Made of transparent material, this seat is durable enough to withstand outdoor use. Display solo or arrange several in a cluster for additional visual appeal. Once more, Starck's creative genius and Kartell's technology bring to life a revolutionary and fascinating design: La Boheme, a collection of stools in precious vase shapes. There are two designs: La Boheme 2 and La Boheme 3. Each Design highlights a different aspect of the vase as an object, in terms of the delicate and precious appearance and the stable, functional seat. Only exclusive technology, used for the first time in the design sector by Kartell, has allowed the creation of a collection of stools which are completely transparent and whose shape holds remarkable aesthetic impact. La Boheme stools suit any place, in the living room and in the garden, on the balcony and in the kitchen. Or choose the vase option to add instant charm. Dimensions: Kartell® La Boheme 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. |
