About Kartell
Founded in 1949 by chemical engineer Giulio Castelli, who studied under Nobel laureate Giulio Natta, Kartell began by producing automobile and household accessories before moving into furniture design in the 1960s.
Known for icons like the transparent Louis Ghost chair and the world's first all-plastic children's chair, Kartell turned an industrial material into a true design statement, shaping modern Italian furniture.
