Bonjour Mademoiselle

Hello my dear design lovers! Today's post is dedicated to Mademoiselle, one of the most famous chairs by Kartell. Conceived by designer Philippe Starck, this chair is the result of two different plastic materials. Mademoiselle has in fact a transparent polycarbonate frame and a seat made ​​of soft material to provide maximum comfort.
  The lines of classical inspiration of the legs, slightly divergent and rigorous square section, emphasize the top, colorful and bright.
  The creative and imaginative soul of Mademoiselle is expressed mainly in the rich variety of patterns expected for the fabric coverings for a session always fun, stylish and of great aesthetic value.
What is your favorite Mademoiselle?

Happy birthday Bourgie!

 

Bourgie Happy Birthday! The table lamp protagonist of this post, created by designer Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell, this year celebrates 10 years. 
Bourgie revisits a baroque table lamp with a contemporary key, combining the style of a lamp of IXX century with a modern material such as polycarbonate transparent or dyed. The base is richly decorated with volutes and the large lampshade is made with a pleated effect, to create a play of light when it is turned on. The transparency of the material and its processing at the highest level, make it seem that the lamp is made ​​of a precious material such as glass. 
Thanks to a special coupling system on the hat, you can customize Bourgie cleansing it in the height you prefer. 
This beautiful work of design is suitable as a decorative lamp, table or office and at any place will always give a touch of elegance and irony that distinguishes it.

Buon compleanno Bourgie! La lampada da tavolo protagonista di questo post, ideata dal designer Ferruccio Laviani per Kartell, compie quest'anno 10 anni.
