Alessandro Mendini first designs for Kartell
Roy
The vibrantly colored stool, which doubles as a side table, is named ‘roy’ in a clear reference to the american pop artist roy lichtenstein. available in white, black, owder, blue a dark blue-green, the seating object has been crafted using mass-dyed polycarbonate.
‘the shape of the stool is the ancient shape of a chinese stool, and the pattern is a kind of interpretation of a roy lichtenstein pattern. so I mixed these two very different things together’, alessandro mendini told.
colors: white, black, powder, blue, dark blue-green
Crystal Palace - wall clock
The second part of the collection, is a clock made from a thermoplastic technopolymer, also rendered in the same vibrant colors. the timepiece takes its ‘crystal palace’ name from london’s famous glass hall, where mendini recalls a particularly impressive collection of –wall mounted clocks.
colors: orange, green, pink, crystal
