30/04/2018 At the Salone del Mobile 2018, Kartell’s technological innovation launches the design revolution, in a style that explores new frontiers of contemporary housing. The world evolves and becomes “smart”: our devices are intelligent, the objects that surround us are intelligent, the future will be intelligent. It is a journey in continuous evolution that marks many aspects of our lives and that constantly imposes the change on our way of being and the transformation of our daily life. Kartell could not remain indifferent to this evolution, not only formal but also cultural and customs. The design comes out of the classical scheme of the form/function relationship and technological innovation (always heritage of the brand, both in the use of objects and in the materials used) and triggers a true intelligent revolution.
