Kartell table & desk lamps

Kartell of Italy is playful, challenging and modern. Since its inception in 1949, the company has challenged traditional notions - and has done so with meticulous elegance and form.

Designed plastic furniture - and lamps in particular—are the company’s specialty, and Kartell’s way of working with the material has interested many designers. Well-known designers such as the Bouroullecbrothers and Patricia Urquiola are just some of the many partners Kartell has worked with.

Creativity and playfulness challenge the traditional

With close to 2,900 stores and retailers in more than 130 countries worldwide, Kartell is an international reference point for Italian design. For more than 60 years, plastic has been the main material Kartell has used to design its products, and it is constantly working to challenge traditional notions. A unique balance between the playful color scheme and the modern, more serious shape is what makes the product so striking. With designers constantly striving to drive innovation and create freely from their own creativity and playfulness, it’s no wonder that Kartell attracts world-class designers.

Designer Ferruccio Laviani created the hugely popular Kartell Fly lamp; with its simple shape and many colors, it has become one of Kartell’s best sellers. A focal point anywhere in the home, with a design that elevates any room, Kartell Fly is great in a group or used singly. The LED light that accompanies it is visible through the plastic and adds an extra detail to the already stylish design. Kartell Fly gets its name from the way it hangs from the ceiling. It almost looks as if it is flying. The popular lamp is available in a total of seventeen designs. Thirteen are transparent, two are solid and two are matt. There is also a clear and transparent version, and three metallic versions.

Kartell is a playful Italian lighting design company that uses its solid history and knowledge to create lighting designs to add that little extra touch to the home.
