Carbon has existed for many and many years but Kartell invents a new use for it. The “Piuma” chair is a revolutionary product, one of the most daring in the evolution of technologies and materials used. Made of a composite material, this is the first time that a material containing carbon fiber has been injection molded. With a minimum thickness of a few millimeters (maximum 2mm), the beauty of this seat lies precisely in its lightness (just 2.2 kg). As subtle as it is incredibly resistant, Piuma can be placed anywhere and is also suitable for outdoor use.
