Kartell Componibili Classic
Componibili elements were designed to meet the many uses and lifestyles of any room in the home: in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living room or hallway. The design feature that brings the Componibili modular system to life is the simple and robust vertical overlapping of the single pieces, which, by way of a simple joint, form practical movable containers. Offered in round and square shapes, the Componibili modules can rest on small castors. Flexible, functional and practical, Componibili modules have been in production for more than forty years and have received much recognition for their pre-eminent and innovative design (even displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and at the Centre George Pompidou in Paris.

Anna Castelli Ferrieri
Italy, 1918 - 2006
“It is not true that what is useful is beautiful. It is what is beautiful that is useful. Beauty can improve people’s way of life and thinking.” - Anna Castelli Ferrieri
Trained as an architect in Milan, Castelli Ferrieri, started designing for Kartell in 1966, after being chosen as the architect for their headquarters. Famous for its critical role in the introduction of plastic as an acceptable material into the consumer market, Kartell was founded by Anna's husband-to-be, Guilio Castelli. At Kartell, experimenting with different kinds of plastic, she designed many innovative objects including the Componibili stackable container elements made of ABS plastic, and the Castelli Ferrieri 4822/44 stool that was the first successful combination of metal and polyurethane at Kartell.
For her beautiful and useful designs, Anna Castelli Ferrieri won numerous design awards, including the prestigious Compasso d’Oro, but the fact that most of her pieces are still in production speaks the highest praise.
Founded in 1949 by Giulio Castelli, the Italian design house Kartell started in car accessory design before shifting to furniture, lighting, and home accessory design in the 1950s. Kartell is famed for its groundbreaking use of plastic in modern design, transforming how people view this material. Iconic designs include the ""Componibili"" modular storage units by Anna Castelli Ferrieri and the ""Universale"" stacking chair by Joe Colombo.
Kartell has worked with acclaimed designers like Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola, Enzo Mari, Piero Lissoni, Vico Magistretti, Alberto Meda, Ferruccio Laviani, and Ron Arad. At the forefront of contemporary interior design, its resume of awards includes several Compasso d'Oro awards, the oldest industrial design award in Europe.
