Kartell Eleganza Ela armchair

The Kartell Eleganza Ela armchair, designed by Philippe Starck in collaboration with illycaffé, is a design chair that reinterprets Italian style with refined simplicity, seamlessly blending haute couture aesthetics with elegant bon ton. The frame is crafted in mass-coloured thermoplastic technopolymer, made from post-industrial recycled material sourced from illycaffé iperespresso capsules and itself recyclable in the black version. The seat is in partially post-industrial recycled polyurethane, upholstered in Melange fabric available in different finishes. Its compact proportions — 88 cm in height, 53 cm in width and 55 cm in depth — make it a versatile piece with a strong visual presence.

With its sinuous silhouette and soft upholstery, Eleganza Ela enhances any space where a warm and sophisticated atmosphere is desired. It is an ideal choice for the living room or contract environments where sustainable design meets formal elegance. Suitable exclusively for indoor use, this armchair was awarded the prestigious RedDot Best of the Best Award 2023, a recognition of its outstanding design quality and craftsmanship.
