(Written in 2020)
A Kartell Pop Missoni Armchair – Black Frame, made in Italy and designed by Carlo Tamborini & architect Piero Lissoni. The Italian Pop armchair remains one of Kartell’s best-sellers. In Australia the Pop armchair is stocked by SPACE Furniture and retails for AU $3,290 and takes 18 -20 weeks to arrive from Italy.
The Pop armchair by Kartell shatters preconceived ideas of the rigidity of plastic, offering itself as a comfortable and indestructible upholstered armchair that stands up to shocks and heavy use. It’d be perfect for any application (commercial or even any domestic situation- the kids could jump all over it and you wouldn’t need to cringe!) Plus, this armchair is incredibly comfortable, you simply melt into this one!
The fabric is vibrant for those who love imagination and can’t live without a modern, lively touch in their home. The fabric is washable and easy to care for. And soft to touch. The large and soft GOOSE-FEATHER cushions are plump and full. Sublime comfort, combined with a stylish frame. This is more a piece of art than a chair!
Piero Lissoni studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and graduated in 1985. He began his career collaborating as designer and art director with furniture manufacturers Boffi, Living Divani, and Porro, and continues his relationship with all three brands today. Today his studio has an impressive list of clients, which include Alessi, Flos, Swarovski and Kartell. Kartell is the world’s leading manufacturer of plastic design classics. Since the advent of this new material in 1950, Kartell has worked with designers to make plastic engaging, comfortable and pretty-much indestructible. Colour and fun are both of Kartell’s trademarks but this one is super-stylish and elegant too.
When buying a trusted brand such as Kartell, there’s no better assurance that you’ll be getting a quality piece that has been built to stand up to any type of (sensible) use and be passed from this generation to the next. There are very few better ways to invest in your home financially (trusted vintage design often increases in value over time)- AND you’re also reducing your carbon footprint. PLUS, by buying here you’re supporting iNVISeDGE- a SMALL BUSINESS that’s been working hard building a “brand” for almost 20 years! It’s win for you, a win for small local business and a win for the future of our earth!
