Design and elegance blend harmoniously in a new chapter of creativity and style, written by a new collaboration between Kartell and Liberty. On the one side we have Kartell, with its unique ability to redefine the concept of contemporary lifestyle. On the other we have Liberty, the leading name in fascinatingly timeless printed fabrics for the last 150 years. An original dialogue between creativity and the decorative arts, this extraordinary journey through the world of Kartell Design is destined to enchant and amaze with its symphony of shapes and colours.
The collaboration arose as a natural consequence of the harmony between the two brands, who share the same commitment to quality, elegance and exclusive, trend-setting style. The partners will collaborate in two areas. The first is outdoor fabrics for the Plastics sofa, Trix pouffe and Cara armchair. The main focus of the collaboration, however, will be on the new H.H.H. – HER HIGHEST HIGHNESS chair by Philippe Starck, which conveys a sense of elegance and majesty inspired by royal thrones. The Kartell for Liberty edition of H.H.H. will be made from recycled material and will come in six Liberty fabrics featuring lively floral prints based on three designs taken from Liberty’s historic archives, and in five new colours specially chosen for Kartell. The fabrics will be expertly printed in Italy.
Faithful to its tradition of pioneering innovative new designs and technologies, Kartell has also decided to develop a high-tech industrial printing process called “graphic impression”. This technique will be used to produce 4 floral and geometric patterns in 11 colour variants. The exclusive, innovative and ultramodern variant of Liberty prints produced in this way perfectly complements the spirit of Kartell.
The Plastics sofa and Trix pouffe by Piero Lissoni and Philippe Starck’s Cara armchair will gain a new look thanks to the use of Liberty fabrics that are specially made for outdoor use. These fabrics add both style and functionality and guarantee strength and durability in outdoor applications. Available in two geometric patterns and one floral pattern, this new collection of outdoor furniture offers a unique mix of style and comfort, and lets you enjoy the summer in an elegant, relaxed fashion. In these new fabric coverings, each piece, from the sofa to the pouffe and armchair, becomes a precious addition to your outdoor life, contributing taste and refinement and offering a delightfully relaxed open-air experience. To set the table in the summer, the Piazza tray is dressed in four color variations of the “Artemis” floral pattern created with the “graphic impression” technique.
The bodies of the fabric-covered and “graphic impression” printed chairs come either in tone-on-tone or in contrasting colours for a bolder look.
