Storage Unit

The Componibili modules were designed to meet various functional needs and to suit any home environment: the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, or lounge. 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 also be fitted with small castors. Flexible, functional and practical, the Componibili modules have been in production for nearly forty years and have received much recognition for their pre-eminent and innovative design.

Born in Milan in 1920, she received a degree in architecture at Milan's Politecnico in 1943. From 1950 to 1973 she was an associate of Ignazio Gardella, responsible for urban planning and architecture. She was president of ADI (the Association for Industrial Design) from 1969-1971. From 1984 to 1986 she was full professor of Industrial Design at Milan's Faculty of Architecture. From 1987 to 1992 she taught at the post-graduate school, Domus Academy. Over the course of the years, she has collaborated with Arflex, Floordesign, Lanerossi, Giorgetti, Matrix, Sambonet, and Matteo Grassi and designed the office space for Kartel. She has specialised in experimenting with plastics for over twenty years.

An Italian engineer's idea of turning our habitat into a plastic dream created a new language for the domestic scenario. Technology and the willingness to go beyond the boundaries of human vision are the values behind Kartell: the designer's design, international minds working together on an innovative project based on inquiry, brilliant signature forms and objects without limits.
