Designs mit Abbracciaio. Kartell

Although they are no longer used to illuminate environments, candles continue to spark the creative inspiration of designers thanks to design supports that give them a contemporary appeal. Abbracciaio is an aluminum fusion of two profiles that, placed one in front of the other, are transformed into a love hug. The two structures that make up the candelabrum are hooked so that they allow the stability of the object. Elegant and poetic, Abbracciaio holds two candles and is manufactured in two finishes in several colors: one in shiny silver, gold or gun barrels; and the other in black and white opaque.

Kartell is famous throughout the world for having invented the culture of furniture and furniture for plastic interiors. Kartell was founded in 1949 by Giulio Castelli, a chemical engineer moved by an inspiration: to create objects from plastic, a material of applications little explored until that moment. He then began a fruitful collaboration with the great designer Gino Colombini, winner of the company's first Compasso d'Oro prize in 1955. From the beginning Kartell's goal was to "brighten up the domestic landscape", becoming one of the main promoters of the plastic in the world of decoration and interior design, although in its beginnings they are more related to the manufacture of automobile accessories in 1949. It expanded into home furnishings in 1963.
