Kartell Eleganza Nia Missoni armchair

Kartell Eleganza Nia Missoni is a designer armchair by Philippe Starck, crafted from post-industrial recycled thermoplastic technopolymer derived from illycaffè hyperespresso capsules, with a polyurethane seat upholstered in Missoni jacquard fabric. Born from the encounter between three centres of excellence — Kartell, Missoni and illy — this piece reinterprets the concept of haute couture applied to furniture design. Its compact proportions — height 87 cm, width and depth 55 cm, seat height 48 cm, weight 9 kg — make it a refined and versatile seat, intended for indoor use only.

The armchair is available in several colour variants that reflect Missoni's distinctive aesthetic: a zigzag pattern on a dark base with coloured threads, a version on a white background mounted on a rust-coloured structure, and a dark-structure variant where splashes of colour take centre stage. A natural choice for a design-led living room, Eleganza Nia Missoni embodies a genuine circular economy process: its structure is born from the recovery and regeneration of discarded plastic components, transformed into a secondary raw material injected into Kartell moulds. Winner of the RedDot Best of the Best Award 2023.
