Piuma, meaning ‘feather’ in Italian, defines the 2.2kg chair and 2mm thin shell. The chair is available in multiple colours and presents a new option for the outdoors.

This vision took Kartell and Piero Lissoni two years of intensive research to materialize through a precise blend of thermoplastic polymer, compounded with multiple fibres, such as carbon to ensure rigidity and lightness at the same time.
