KARTELL - A trio of NEW releases!

Kartell have released three new products, all of which have seduced us with their highly contemporary and innovative designs. The Taj Table Lamp, designed by Ferruccio Laviani, is an arched beauty. This sculptural masterpiece focuses on elegant and refined forms - magnificent both off and on! Using intelligent LED technology it provides both optimum and minimal light making it highly energy efficient. Available in either transparent 'crystal', solid coloured black and white or a satin-finished plastic version - 'frozen', it craves attention and your admiration! The Invisible Side Table, designed by Tokujin Yoshioka, was inspired by Yoshioka's Japanese culture visible through sleek and simple lines. Suiting a multitude of environments, its unobtrusive vision works well both indoor and out - or even as a bench! In two transparent versions, crystal and smoke, as well as two solid versions, white and black, we think these will look great mixed and matched. Together with the Audrey Soft Dining Chair and Armchair, designed by Piero Lissoni, Kartell have unleashed a strong trio of creations! Audrey Soft belongs to a eclectic multifunctional family of chairs and this upholstered edition is available in a range of eclectic colours which act to accentuate the lean contours of the frame. Perfect in a range of environments, this versatile chair is also available in four different frame options, painted black, white or aluminum and polished aluminum meaning it can be fully tailored to suit. Available from May/June 2012, they're the perfect way to welcome the summer.

A Revolutionary Desk Light

Flos have unleashed a revolutionary gadget - The D`E Desk Light. Its sleek frame operates as both a light source and USB stand for iPod, iPad and iPhone devices, the result is a fine invention. Philippe Starck offers a solution to the abundance of unattractive electrical wiring and the misfortune of misplaced devices which seems to dominate modern living. The integrated USB dock sits above the LED lamp accompanied by a vertical back plate for additional support. This generates the optimum conditions for easy operation of your device elevated at a favourable viewing height. The outcome is astounding - paving the way for future creations which integrate contemporary design with function. The chrome finish acts to enhance its sophisticated contours for a streamlined and balanced silhouette which does not infringe on its primary function, to provide sufficient light. The angled chrome-plated aluminum head includes an optical ON/OFF switch with Soft Touch technology adjusting light to two intensities from 100% down to 50% and 0%. The The D`E Desk Light is sure to capture the attention of technology enthusiasts!
