Story
A contrasting edge
Kartell writes that in Lepid the contrasting edge becomes a sign of continuity, reminiscent of a spontaneously hand-drawn line. The same text says the edge and the surface are painted to make distinct contrasts.
A constructive detail made visible
The page says Lepid transforms a constructive detail into the most distinctive aspect of the design, and the data sheet names polyester lacquered MDF as the material of this code.
