Kartell Storage Green Plastic material. Dimensions: Ø 32 x H 58.5 cm.
Kartell loves the planet … A true pioneer, Kartell is holding a green
revolution by introducing the first piece of furniture made with Bio-On
bioplastics: a material that’s 100% natural and 100% biodegradable. This
bioplastic is derived from renewable raw materials (plant waste) which, with the
addition of micro-organisms, form a material similar to plastic. This bioplastic
guarantees the same thermomechanical properties as traditional plastics with, in
addition, the advantage of being completely ecological and entirely (100%)
biodegradable in a natural way. It took many years of research to develop this
highly technological bioplastic using new ecological chemistry. Kartell embodies
Italian excellence around the world. Experimenting with new technologies, which
includes innovation in the use of plastics, has always been the linchpin for the
innovation of its own products. Claudio Luti, president of Kartel, explains:
Bioplastics research is joining our innovation pathway and is part of the
Kartell loves the planet project aimed at improving good practices in
sustainable development. I’m already looking forward to exploring the future
and discovering not only new technologies, but quite different from the products
we have made so far. Kartell chose to use this bioplastic for the first time by
reinterpreting an icon from its catalogue: the Componibili. In 1968, designer
Anna Castelli Ferreri, wife of Kartell’s founder, created the famous
Componibili. The Componibili has been produced for over half a century and has
become a real design classic over the passing decades. It has won many prizes
and been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Pompidou
Centre in Paris. Compact and versatile, Componibili easily fits into all rooms
in the house, on the floor or placed on another piece of furniture. It fulfils
several functions: bedside table in the bedroom, end table in the living room,
small storage module in the bathroom or kitchen, stool if necessary. It can even
be used outdoors.> Flash sale: special price for a limited time only.
