Founded on the basis that plastic can be as beautiful as functional, and as worthy of great design as any traditional material, Kartell strived to create pieces that changed how people thought about domestic space. With bold, joyful colours throughout their ranges, the brand has become a symbol for Italian design for over 75 years.

CEO & Founder of Papier shares his guide to Florence.
"As a student of History of Art, Florence was never really optional. This is the city where the Italian Renaissance more or less begins, and every lecture at Uni referenced it. I've been coming back ever since, usually to look at the same handful of paintings and eat in the same handful of resturants. It's a small city and very walkable, so skip the 2 hour queue for Michelangelo's sculpture of David and spend the time on getting to know the city more intimately."

In 1967, Anna Castelli Ferrieri designed a storage unit that didn't look like storage at all. Three stacking drums, a swivel base, doors that click shut with a satisfying half-turn. Kartell has barely touched the design since. Today it sits in bathrooms, nurseries and design museums with equal confidence. Below, we take a closer look at the story behind the Componibili, and the injection-moulding breakthrough that made it possible.

Behind Design Icons - Kartell Componibili

Wooden furniture is having a moment of decoration. Tables tattooed with swallows, hands, roses, inked straight into the grain. Wardrobes gone polka dot. Chests of drawers with cows that look like they've wandered off a dairy farm and got comfortable. Even bedframes aren't safe - birds mid-flight across a headboard.
Wood has always taken a mark well. It's just been left plain for too long.

From vivid pastels to minimalist backdrops and landscapes with gritty edges, here’s décor fueled by this summer’s most anticipated releases – and the albums already setting the tone for the months ahead.

This month’s colour pairing brings together cranberry and eggnog - a rich maroon red paired with a soft egg white. Cranberry brings depth and festive warmth, while eggnog balances it with a creamy, calming softness. It’s a combination we’re seeing everywhere right now, from food styling to interiors.

Scientist by day, furniture restorer by night; for Tola Adefioye, a life well lived is time spent in his workshop. Tola’s philosophy is that everything that is damaged can be fixed, he believes there can be something strangely nourishing in bringing objects back to life.
