Story
Metal and the welded wire process
Kartell's page opens with the idea that Hiray takes metal and gives it shape through the welded wire process, tying the choice to the greening of the Kartell catalogue. The result is described as essential and functional but rich in emotion, with wires forming well-defined yet lightweight structural parts.
A range with an armchair
The page names the armchair among the range's articles, next to a chair, a chair with arms, a bistro table, a divan and a side table.
