Designed by Antonio Citterio for the famous Kartell brand, the Re-Chair stands out for its square, full lines that give it both lightness and robustness. The Re-Chair Illy is the result of a partnership between Kartell and Illy. Discarded Illy coffee capsules are recovered and transformed into the highest quality secondary raw material. Kartell regenerates the ground material and transforms the coffee capsule into a durable good.
Thanks to its style code, Re-Chair Illy will fit perfectly into different areas of the home, from the dining room to the office. Highly functional and versatile, the Re-Chair Illy is stackable and also suitable for outdoor use.
