| Summary: | The story of 70 years of Kartell, a company on the cutting-edge of design and planning culture, which has always fostered meaningful relationships with the world of art and creative thinking.'The Art side of Kartell' investigates the relationship between Kartell and the art world. A world that has always been, from the very beginning, close to the brand, as the evolution of art in many ways mirrors that of Kartell. Through a narrative journey that includes some of the most important chapters of Kartell's production, the book portrays the way our society has changed over the last seven decades, in parallel with the evolution of the many artistic currents of the 20th Century up to the contemporary expressive languages. As in the essay by Ferruccio Laviani, Today, through the entirety of Kartell's production, we can see the changes in our society over 7 decades mirrored in objects such as the KD 51/R lamp by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the Componibili by Anna Castelli Ferrieri, or the Louis Ghost chair by Philippe Starck, which document in an almost journalistic way the modernism of the post-war period, the youth movement of the 1960s, as well as the rediscovery of the bourgeois philosophy of the new millennium, and they do so through the form and evolution of technology.
