Re-Designed Charity Chairs

Kartell Loves Milano Raises Money for the Umberto Veronesi Foundation

— October 26, 2011 — Art & Design
Kartell Loves Milano is a special collection of re-designed chairs that will be auctioned off for charity. Launched earlier this year, this project was created as a tribute to Milan, a city which has witnessed the evolution of the company from its first steps in the mid-20th century through to its success today. By giving back to its community, Kartell Loves Milano expresses its love in a unique and charitable way.

The Kartell Loves Milano project and auction is made up of works re-designed by 45 different designers, architects, fashion brands and other creatives including Alessandro Mendini, Patricia Urquiola and Missoni. All proceeds raised in the auction will be donated to the Umberto Veronesi Foundation.
