In a museum-like exhibit and rigorously in black Kartell displays 16 new products; some are production versions of objects first presented last year such as the Masters chair and the Ghost Buster bedside table by Philippe Starck and Eugeni Quitllet, but most of them are brand new and exciting products.
Our favorite one is the striking Magic Hole series, sofas and armchair for outdoors with Starck's characteristic style and a nice twist: a fluorescent pocket housed in the armrests to hold whatever you fancy.
Inspired in the decor of windsor chairs Patricia Urquiola signs the Comback chair which fits her feminine-retro-yet-modern style perfectly, the girls from Front show a circular magazine rack and Nendo is responsible of the rather boring Sundial bookshelf. Ferruccio Laviani presents his flowery Bloom lamp and Tokujin Yoshioka shows his announced and too conceptual Invisible armchair, which says a lot about the outstanding manufacturing abilities of Kartell.

Interview: Eugeni Quitllet
When we first saw his name close to that of Philippe Starck we googled, with no luck. There was no human trace of Eugeni Quitllet and we thought, for a brief moment, that he could be an invention, some sort of imaginary alter ego created by his famously provocative partner. But shortly after all this revealed to be a product of our unquiet imagination: he is for real, thank goodness.
