Tip Top is a small, sleek, and lightweight side table designed by Philippe Starck for Kartell. It consists of a single cylindrical leg on which a round top measuring 48cm in diameter is placed. The combination of the glossy top and the transparent, empty leg gives depth to the frame. Understated and contemporary, it can be used as a bedside table as well as at the end of a sofa, and comes with a black or transparent top.
In 1949, Giulio Castelli founded the Italian company Kartell, which specialises in the manufacture of plastic goods. In 1963, he married architect Anna Castelli Ferrieri, who also became his collaborator. The Kartell collection is extensive, attractive and easy to use. Colour, play on meaning, transparency and unique shapes create unrivalled objects. Kartell soon became the symbol of "Made in Italy" design and offers a product catalogue composed of furniture, decorative accessories and lighting. They represent the icon of contemporary design. Kartell enjoyed global success thanks to its involvement in research and innovation, by using efficient production systems and increasingly modern technologies.
