Materials of the future - what Kartell furniture is made of?

At Kartell, design meets responsibility. The brand has spent years developing innovative materials that combine aesthetics, functionality and environmental concerns. Meet those behind the iconic products - from transparent chairs to biodegradable collections.

Polycarbonate 2.0 - a new era of transparency

Kartell's exclusive, certified renewable material m.in. in the iconic Ghost series or Bourgie lamps.
Lightweight, resilient, fully recyclable - a perfect example of modern design in the spirit of eco.

Bio - naturally biodegradable

Biological material derived from non-food chain agricultural waste.
Kartell was the first to apply it to furniture production - creating a collection that literally goes back to nature.

Recycled - the second life of plastics

Selected Kartell products are created from recycled materials, m.in. industrially recycled plastics.
It's a way to reduce waste and give it a new form - like the A-series.I. or Re-Chair.

Wood - FSC™ certified wood

Natural raw material sourced exclusively from responsibly managed forests.
Used in collections such as Smart Wood, it retains its varied shades and textures - ideal for creating eco-friendly interiors.

Illycaffè x Kartell - design from a capsule

The collaboration with the illycaffè brand has resulted in designs that use recycled coffee capsules.
The Re-Chair and Eleganza collection is a symbol of the combination of technology, aesthetics and the idea of a circular economy.
