Furnishing Accessories

When it comes to form and function, Kartell has you covered with furnishing accessories—necessities like baskets; umbrella stands; stepladders; clothing hangers and coat hooks; shelves; and magazine racks. The only difference is that when your furnishing accessories are from Kartell, these smaller items speak volumes in terms of an elevated design aesthetic. Let’s face it: the Kite Shelf by revered Spanish architect Patricia Urquiola is likely to be as significant design-wise as whatever it holds. And sure, any stepladder is practical, but one like the geometric, polycarbonate Kartell Upper—engineered by Alberto Meda and designed by Paolo Rizzatto— also has major personality!
More sizable pieces that fall under this category are decorative bookcases; mirrors; rugs; side tables; trolleys; and storage units. With these, the same concept applies. Kartell bookcases and storage containers are utterly unique because not only do they represent form and function; they also showcase the talent of some of the best designers ever; therefore, Kartell furnishing accessories are more than small-scale furnishings; they are icons. Case in point: the modular Componibili, a practical and stylish stackable container ideal for living room, bathroom, or office interiors. Componibili was originally designed in 1967 by Italian architect Anna Castelli Ferrieri as a versatile piece to suit any lifestyle. Consequently, the design of Componibii was so impressive and innovative that it has since been displayed at the MoMA in New York City and at the Centre George Pompidou in Paris. It’s no surprise that Componibili remains one of Kartell’s bestselling furniture pieces to this day.
Imagine serving on the Battista Trolley, designed by Italian architect Antonio Citterio and German industrial designer Oliver Löw. Or displaying your library of favorite reads on a sculptural bookcase such as Bookworm by Israeli designer Ron Arad. The aesthetic effect of these—and other furnishing accessories by Kartell—is truly epic.
