Kartell Tables

The Kartell Tables bring together on The Cool Republic a selection of 12 designs that illustrate the Italian brand's vision: turning plastic into a noble, precise and hard-wearing material. Founded in Milan in 1949, Kartell has established a formal language built on industrial rigour and clarity of line. Every table in this collection embodies that balance between exacting manufacturing processes and bold aesthetic ambition, for contemporary interiors that refuse to compromise between form and function.

Kartell has worked for decades with leading designers, among them Philippe Starck, whose pared-back silhouettes run through several generations of furniture. The Invisible table, entirely moulded from transparent polycarbonate, remains one of the Italian house's most photographed pieces: it catches the light, visually lightens a space and fits into almost any decorative world. The collection also includes more structured designs, with opaque tops and geometric bases, available in a palette running from white to black by way of bolder shades. The White Kartell Tables and the Black Kartell Tables are the two most sought-after colour poles, suited to compact flats as much as to large-scale lofts. Dimensions vary according to use, from the compact side table to the living-room coffee table, taking in versatile intermediate formats along the way.

These tables are for those looking for instantly recognisable furniture, in keeping with a design-led approach yet never ostentatious. In the living room, a Kartell coffee table sits perfectly alongside a neutral-toned sofa or a graphic rug. To complete a dining area or an entrance hall, pairing them with the Kartell Chairs guarantees immediate brand coherence.
