Need more storage in a small space? The Componibili can be stacked as high as you can reach. Shorter two-shelf versions are available, too.

The round version of Componibili features sliding doors, while the rectangular one has hinged doors.

For a more seamless silhouette, the designer did away with handles and opted for cutouts instead.

TRIVIA Anna Castelli Ferrieri, the designer of Componibili and founder of Kartell, is well-known for introducing the use of plastic to the design industry. Componibili joins Ghost Chair and the Bourgie Lamp in the list of iconic, plastic-made pieces by Kartell.

THE COMPONIBILI IS MANUFACTURED BY KARTELL, AND IS AVAILABLE AT SPACE.
