Designer Plastic


How come I've never heard of Kartell stores before? Have I been living under a rock? They're everywhere apparently, or at least in major cities. There is one in or near the financial district in San Francisco. We have friends that have a business in the same neighborhood. We have driven that neighborhood. We have walked that neighborhood. Somehow, we missed the Kartell Showroom.

Kartell.... making designer plastic since 1949.
Who knew plastic could look so good?

  2. Oh yes, one of our local stores sells Kartell products. I covet the "Fly" pendant lamp you pictured, but it retails at 160 EUR here...

  4. I have never heard of Kartell stores either...and I know the Bay Area. That first chair and one of those pendant lamps almost make me want to "go modern". Did I say that?
