Small furniture

Mobil is a container system that offers qualities of lightness, mobility, functionality, resistance and durability. For their design and the glamour of the colours offered, they are well-suited to any home or office setting and meet diverse functional needs. The drawer, which is alternated with shelving and top surfaces, is the basic feature of the system. All various configurations can be fitted on either castors or fixed legs, thereby making it possible to use Mobil in various settings: from the bedroom to the lounge, also as a base for stereo systems or in the study or office as desk drawers.

Antonio Citterio took his diploma in architecture in 1972 and opened a practice that year in Lissone with Paolo Nava. He worked for prestigious firms such as B&B Italia, Iittala, and Kartell. He also designed office furniture for Vitra and Hermann Miller as well as numerous lamps for Ansorg, Flos, Belux, and Artemide. In 1986 he designed the "Sity" sofa for B&B Italia and, in 1990, he collaborated with the designer Glen Oliver Löw on the "Antonio Citterio Collection", a office chair for Vitra. In 1994 Antonio Citterio designed "Mobile" for Kartell. His designs are orientated toward the newest technologies and materials yet are timeless.

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.
