Piuma

Overview

Piuma is credited to Piero Lissoni and dated 2016 on Kartell’s product-specific data sheet. Kartell describes Piuma as its first injection-moulded product made from a material containing carbon fibre. The official shop text says the shell reaches no more than 2 mm in thickness and presents the chair as light, thin, strong, flexible and suitable for outdoor use.

Construction

For code 5802, the technical sheet names a complex thermoplastic polymer reinforced with carbon fibre and finished with a soft-touch treatment. Its drawing gives 62 cm across the front, 54 cm in side view and a largest vertical value of 77 cm.

Specifications

• Largest drawing values, not labelled with axes: 62 x 54 x 77 cm
• Net weight: 2.64 kg
• Variant: 5802 Piuma, Grey

Product idea

Kartell presents Piuma as a materials and injection-moulding experiment: it is the company's first injection-moulded product using a material that contains carbon fibre. The 2016 heading belongs specifically to Piuma and credits Piero Lissoni.

Technical identity

The drawing prints 65 and 43 as additional vertical values and 50 as another horizontal value; none carries an axis label, so they remain supporting evidence only. The product page describes the chair as 2.2 kg, while the technical sheet records 2.64 kg; the stored net weight follows the sheet. The sheet lists six manufacturer colours.
