The iconic Componibili storage by Kartell is their best selling product, and a personal favorite. Originally designed for young people with in-flux lifestyles, the simple design is a blank canvas for a wide range of colors and finishes. The hidden compartments inspire hidden treasure and personal narrative similar to a “Cabinet of Curiosities” displaying stunning objects of desire, such as crystals and minerals. Driven by the trend of wellness and mysticism, this CMF strategy draws on the healing powers of crystals to adapt a seven color palette to five global regions.
