Kartell Launches a Line Dedicated to Kids

Italian brand Kartell has taken their clever aesthetic and brought it to a genius collection for children aged three to eight that launched during Salone del Mobile 2016. Kartell Kids is full of colorful, playful designs that will even make the grown ups jealous, which seems only fair since the adults have always had cool, modern stuff, right? Just like their regular designs, they enlisted some of the top designers in the world for the launch, including Nendo, Ferrucio Laviani, Piero Lissoni, and Philippe Starck. Take a look!
