Elegance and its discreet charm. The essential lines of Italian style for Kartell with a timeless chair that combines the world of Haute Couture with bon ton. Distinctive features: refinement and discretion, softness and fluidity. This upholstered chair comes in two versions, ELEGANZA NIA (with arms) and ELEGANZA ELA (armless). Both are sinuous and lightweight forms on which fabric plays the lead role, softly covering the lines of the chair, from which sturdy legs emerge.

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.
