MODEL OPTIONS:
Shanghai Vase by Kartell. A multifaceted vase widening from the base to the top in a swirling motion projecting light and energy. Shanghai is like refracted light radiating from prism-like crystals with an alternating play of flashes and shadows, creating irregular geometric forms. Its many colours and forms are as fascinating as its Oriental namesake. Shanghai Vase by Kartell are designed by Mario Bellini .
Kartell was founded in Milan in 1949 by chemical engineer Giulio Castelli with the conviction that industrial polymer technology could produce objects of lasting aesthetic and cultural value. The company's history is a series of manufacturing firsts: the first injection-moulded plastic storage unit (Anna Castelli Ferrieri's Componibili, 1969); the first chair produced from a single polycarbonate mould; Philippe Starck's Louis Ghost (2002), which reinterpreted a Louis XVI fauteuil in transparent polycarbonate and became one of the most sold chairs in design history. The Masters chair by Philippe Starck (2009) layers the silhouettes of the Eames DSR, Saarinen Tulip and Jacobsen Series 7 into a single polycarbonate shell - a piece of design history that is also a piece of design commentary.
