A timeless classic, incessantly projected towards the future: The Componibili have just turned 50 and Kartell is dedicating a special event to this timeless icon created by Anna Castelli Ferrieri which immediately became a long-time bestseller of the brand. To celebrate this anniversary, designers, curators, critics and intellectuals from all over the world have been invited to make their own personal contribution.

At the centre of the exhibition trail Kartell presents fifteen signature pieces, a special tribute in the form of a personal interpretation signed by Ron Arad, Mario Bellini, Antonio Citterio, Ferruccio Laviani, Piero Lissoni, Alberto Meda, Alessandro Mendini, Nendo, Fabio Novembre, Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola, Tokujin Yoshioka and fashion brands Emilio Pucci and Missoni, along with a Disney special edition. So the Componibili have become unique and celebrative artworks in honour of the purity of the original design and the creative gravitas of Anna Castelli Ferrieri.

To complete the tribute, special dedications by the curators and authors who have accepted Kartell’s invitation to underpin the recollection and value of this object.
