Garage Italia Customs, the brainchild of Lapo Elkann, is reworking some of the Kartell’s iconic designs to be released as an exclusive limited-edition collection later this year.

The collection, titled “Kartell+Lapo. It’s a Wrap!”, features a selection of Kartell’s signature furniture such as Philippe Starck’s “Louis Chair” armchair, “Uncle Jim” armchair and “Ghost Buster” shelf that have been reinterpreted using an innovative car wrapping technology. The designs were wrapped using a technique that involves covering their surfaces with a unique vinyl film, in the traditional colours of automotive nations and worlds, along with patterns from the world of fashion such as houndstooth, pinstripe, and tartan, helping to breath new life into these iconic furnishings.

The collection will be available starting this September to December at Kartell stores and online.
