At this year’s Salone del Mobile, the Kartell collection for kids was launched. The Italian brand has unveiled a new line of furniture – their first ever for children.

Kartell Collection For Kids

The new line dedicated entirely to children, with furnishings that can be transformed into proper toys by designers Philippe Starck, Piero Lissoni, Nendo, and Ferrucio Laviani, shown below.

‘As well as being functional, our products are intrinsically playful, fun and engaging’ says Claudio Luti, president of Kartell. The new kids line allowed the designers to experiment in an area that they perhaps have not before, engaging with a younger audience. Where Nendo approached his stools with the idea of the emotion of a smile, creating a face in the imprint of the seat, Laviani got into the youthful mindset for his building game, which he describes as ‘trying to approach their world more than ours’.
