Now you see me ...now you don't.. see the Invisible chairs if you can..

'The Invisibles' is the result of the latest collaboration between japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka and Kartell's president, Claudio Luti. the series comes ten years after the 'invention' of transparency, in which Kartell expresses a new stylistic approach to 'invisible furniture'.'the Invisibles' will be on show during Milan design week 2010 at the Kartell flagstore.

'the invisibles' is a range of furniture: tables, sofas, armchairs and benches Yoshioka has designed for Kartell where the play of the evanescence of transparency is all-encompassing. The pieces share a lightness, complete in transparency, but still have a feeling of solidness - the maxi forms exhibiting a thickness which has never been seen in polycarbonate design pieces previously. the series is a continuation of yoshioka's exploration of the ethereal, combined with Kartell's desire to invest in its own technological 'know-how' in order to give life to new forms.
