Over 70 years of history of family, of culture and design, of industrial products, new materials and cutting-edge technologies.

Over 70 years of ongoing research and exchange with the great designers with the aim of pursuing beauty and absolute quality

Over 70 years of market success through cooperation and partnerships in events and projects destined for sale and communication Kartell is the perfect synthesis of its past and its ongoing projection into the future, combining the great heritage of corporate culture with the desire to explore new paths and engage in new experiences dominated by an intense passion for creation.

Since its formation back in 1949, Kartell has become well-known and well-loved for its unique products and commitment to innovation. In its over 70-year history, Kartell has focused on research and evolved technological processes since 1988, under the guidance of Claudio Luti.

Quality, design, and industrial production combine to create the unique interpretation of beauty that identifies Kartell. The same values also extend to the company's unrivalled technical know-how, which allows a creative lab of top designers to develop new products that explore previously unreachable limits. Kartell has successfully developed sophisticated products that blend advanced production technology with innovative materials like carbon fiber, biopolymer, recycled waste, 3D-curved wood from FSC-certified origins, and a new, green polycarbonate.

Sustainability is one of Kartell's founding values, and today, thanks to the "Kartell loves the planet" industrial manifesto, the company is destined to accelerate the process of material conversion. 2030 has been set as the deadline for making all products from green materials whenever technically possible.

Single-brand stores promote Kartell's designs and values in special display settings that change throughout the year. The company's retail network of directly owned and franchised stores is constantly expanding, with an increasing number of strategic openings to consolidate global leadership. Kartell also maintains a strong presence on all direct and indirect online channels, and the company's e-commerce platform continues to play a key role in its story-telling and commercial strategy.

To illustrate its history, Kartell opened a museum in 1999, celebrating 50 years of activity and relating an extraordinary marriage of plastic and design, which was renewed in 2015.
