What is ‘Smart Wood’? Smart Wood is the fusion of one of life’s boldest and basic furniture construction materials fused with technological know how. With patented technology a fine layer of wood is worked with a mould, designed to provide curvature of the wooden panel to the edges to create a shape of unprecedented roundness. In this way the beauty of the wood is enhanced – bent horizontally and vertically in three dimensions to create welcoming curves to ensure maximum comfort. This practice is part of the ‘Kartell Loves The Planet’ philosophy – aimed at enhancing good practices for sustainability throughout the production process in the use of raw materials, coupled with low environmental impact.

Philippe Patrick Starck (born 1949 in Paris) is a French product designer and probably the best known designer in the New Design style. His designs range from spectacular interior designs to mass produced consumer goods such as toothbrushes, chairs, and even houses. He was educated in Paris at École Nissim de Camondo and in 1968, he founded his first design firm, which specialized in inflatable objects. In 1969, he became art director of his firm along with Pierre Cardin. Starck's career started to climb in earnest in 1982 when he designed the interior for the private apartments of the French President François Mitterrand. Starck has worked independently as an interior designer and as a product designer since 1975. Most notably, in 2002, he created a number of relatively inexpensive product designs for the large American retailer Target Stores. His most recent designs include an optical mouse for Microsoft, yachts, and new packaging for a beer company. He was also commissioned to design the Virgin Galactic spaceport in New Mexico.
