Lightweight and graphic, Hiray is a collection of outdoor furniture designed by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba for Italian brand Kartell. The extensive collection, which includes chairs, armchairs, sofas and tables, is characterised by its use of wire-welded metal. The result is an essential, uncluttered motif that is also imbued with emotion. Designed to stand up to the outdoors, the pieces in the Hiray Kartell collection come in a range of colours that work well together. Adapted cushions are also available for the seats.
Architects and designers, Ludovica & Roberto Palomba have been working together since 1994. Based in Milan, they are simultaneously involved in interior architecture, industrial design, design management and communication. They graduated in architecture from the University of Rome, and went on to found their own firm, Palomba e Serafini Associated studio, based in Milan. Ludovica & Roberto Palomba put their marketing and artistic skills to work for the biggest brands to meet customer expectations. The complementary nature of the couple means that each of their creations combines boldness with serenity, originality with purity. They work for Cappellini, Driade, Foscarini and Zanotta, with the famous Lama chaise longue, for example.
