Piuma
In the evolution of technology and materials adopted by Kartell, Piero Lissoni's "Piuma" seat has become one of the most revolutionary and boldest products. Kartell has succeeded in making the seat have an extremely thin thickness of a few millimeters (at most 2mm), and its seat surface is very light (just 2.4 kg).
