KD28 Lamp by
Kartell

Today, Kartell’s past and present merge in the form of the KD28 lamp by Joe Colombo, which assumes a new lease of life and returns to the Kartell Lighting range. First introduced back in 1967, this lamp still maintains its original innovative spirit but has been adapted to modern-day needs by the use of advanced materials and technology. It is now made from recycled materials and boasts a satin-finish shade that projects a warmer, more enveloping light. Attention to detail has provided a fabric-covered power cable in the same colour as the base.

About Kartell

Founded by Giulio Castelli in 1949, in the early years Kartell took its first steps to produce the distinctive design that would come to epitomise the ‘Made in Italy’ label.

In 1988 the company was acquired by Claudio Luti, the son-in-law of Giulio and Anna Castelli who had a background in fashion. The sensibility that Luti had developed under the Versace fashion house, with a love for perfection and tasteful design, heralded a new start for the brand. Luti sought collaborations with designers and architects like Philippe Starck, Ron Arad, Antonio Citterio, Ferruccio Laviani, Piero Lissoni, Patricia Urquiola, Mario Bellini, Alberto Meda and Vico Magistretti, who were responsible for those products that soon came to symbolise the brand. The fresh approach to materials dictated the new direction and brought real turning points for Kartell: studying, manipulating and enriching materials resulted in an end product which offered unprecedented characteristics.
