MATERIAL
post-industrial recycled thermoplastic technopolymer obtained from Illy coffee
pods
A new major partnership with the Illy Group supplements the unwavering research
conducted by Kartell to develop innovative materials and promote sustainable production.
For the first time ever, post industrial waste coffee pods are being used to regenerate
material, which is ground into a granule-like consistency to give rise to the second raw
material, giving the material a new lease on life so it can be injected into a Kartell
mould to produce a designer product. The partnership with Illy does not stop with the
mere supply of recycled material, but it embraces a new way of managing the circular
economy process between two excellences. The quality of a consumer industrial product
leads to an industrial project which generates beauty and is in itself based on quality.
It took almost two years of work to achieve the quality standard and the necessary
mechanics to produce a chair from waste coffee pods. The symbol of this project is a
chair, whose name brings to mind the subject of experimentation on recycled material.
Re-Chair is the latest creation by Antonio Citterio for Kartell made from recycled material
and now the special ambassador of project powered Illy caffè
Made with the recovery
of waste plastic materials
from illycaffe iperespresso capsules
