Kartell Lamps

Kartell was founded in Italy in 1949 by the chemical engineer Giulio Castelli. Castelli started out producing plastic products for the auto industry. The company later expanded to plastic products for the household and finally to designer lamps. Kartell’s profile and history is characterised by modern design and high technology in connection with the production of groundbreaking plastic products. Their product range contains a long list of world-renowned designs created by legendary names like Ron Arad, Antonio Citterio, Michele De Lucchi, Ferruccio Laviani, Piero Lissoni, Vico Magistretti, Enzo Mari, Alberto Meda, Paolo Rizzatto and Philippe Starck. These deisgners all valued the wealth of knowledge Kartell has regarding plastic technology and the innovative ways plastic can contribute to modern living. Kartell’s collection of designer lamps includes the incredibly beautiful Bourgie – an absolute bestseller. Its Baroque style works well in many homes – it illuminates a room beautifully and the lamp is a decoration itself.

In recent years the FL/Y lamp has stormed onto the bestseller lists. FL/Y is a pendant with a large transparent shade made in a wide range of colours, and it fits into every situation and every home.
