Life in the Great Outdoors: HiRay by Kartell! Kartell loves a technological challenge and is always ready to explore new solutions and materials. As is the case for HiRay from designers Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, the protagonist is metal. This outdoor furniture collection pays tribute to metal, showcasing its lightweight and modern qualities. Designed for life in the great outdoors, the collection uses soldering wire techniques, which also creates plays on sunlight, creating a lightweight 3D design. The whole project is led by a design using metal wires which, when brought together, become rigid and build a structure, characterised by an organic shape composed of a single element. The rigidity of the metal is combined with soft cushions, made using an innovative fabric created from recycled bottles and other PET waste. Outdoor spaces are becoming new living spaces thanks to these elegant and unique pieces that combine aesthetics and functionality, overcoming the border between indoors and outdoors. Ludovica+Roberto Palomba: “HiRay draws clear inspiration from Kartell’s philosophy, translating its concepts into a product range that defines a new trend for life in the great outdoors. HiRay continues with Kartell’s deep-dive into new worlds, with a design that showcases metal and beautifully interprets its lightweight and modern qualities. Designed for life in the great outdoors, HiRay stands out with its cutting-edge technology and use of wire, not only for creating sinuous and sunny transparencies, but also for creating 3D shapes.”
