KARTELL
MINOTTI
DIMORE GALLERY
Two of the leading Made in Italy brands come together for a new challenge
in design to safeguard the environment. In Kartell’s creative workshop, in
which ideas, innovations, materials and technology come together, a new
project has been born, uniting two of the most emblematic Made in Italy
brands, Kartell and Fiat, for a special edition in support of the launch of
the new FIAT 500 full electric. “The Kartell 500 has all the character of
our brand,” continues Claudio Luti. “It is inspired by the unmistakable
graphic design of the Kabuki lamp which Ferruccio Laviani designed to
be the leitmotif of the new car’s identity, with unique details that take
the structure of the lamp and transforms it into special features of the car
itself. The colour blue expresses a strong identity, and is inspired by a range
already used by Kartell.” Kartell’s special project for the Fiat 500, together
with two other standout names of the Made in Italy brand, Bulgari and
Armani, supported by Altagamma, forms part of an awareness campaign
aiming to improve the planet with better consumer habits. The three cars
will be auctioned off, and the proceeds will go to one of the environmental
organisations of Leonardo di Caprio, who has embraced the design of the
new Fiat 500 and become an endorser of Fiat’s mission.
Embrace Stylish Outdoor Living with Minotti’s Lifescape Collection
Along with complementing other pieces within their respective series,
Minotti’s outdoor furniture pieces also co-mingle effortlessly when
mixed and matched. A good example is the Florida seating system,
designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, that features soft geometric lines,
modularity, and tons of comfort.
The Rivera series, also designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, leans retro
yet refined. Lots of attention to detail and natural materials are the
hallmarks of its pieces, with open-air woven details that are eye-
catching beyond compare. The Rivera includes seating, coffee tables,
and various other accessories.
The right choice for smaller spaces, the Tape “Cord” outdoor series is
compact with perfect proportions. This extensive group of seating and
accessories is ideal for creating relaxing outdoor areas in both residential
and commercial se ttings. Each piece shares the Tape detail – a bronze
colour metal strip securing its feet to its body.
DIMORE GALLERY is a home, a journey, an experience, a dialogue between
past and present. Every object selected or created by designers Emiliano Salci
and Britt Moran has a story and an allure capturing the imagination in a
way in which only art and design are able. Each room unveils a different
emotion (joy, surprise, nostalgia) leading the visitor towards the discovery of
elusive colours and precious materials, where the quest for form reveals the
presence of objects and makes this journey unique and emotive.
Dimore Gallery – Iconic mid-century collectable pieces coexist with
contemporary creations.
Designed and produced by Dimore Gallery designers, objects from far-
away worlds live next to sculptural furniture. “Progetto Non-Finito”: a
series of seatings, tables, cabinets, bookcases and lamps is translated into
contemporary language finding origins in the past as a source of inspiration.
Corroded metal alternates with precious alloys, aged silver and oxidised
brass; glossy lacquers blend with rough-finished fibreglass; textiles with a
classical point-of-view are made contemporary by creative interpretation.
