the lighting sector continues to represent an important voice for kartell. its collection of lamps has been enriched with more technically-sophisticated and innovative designs in terms of both their moulding and their light sources. for the 2016 salone del mobile in milan, the company is treading new ground by going beyond mere decoration in order to provide technical light suitable for working environments. ‘aledin’ by alberto and francesco meda is an LED table lamp whose articulated polycarbonate stand contains two aluminium rods that function as conductors in the place of wires. in the ‘dec’ version, the lamp is designed to decorate interiors and its head features a small, many-sided cone.
