Kartell Tries Out T-shirts

Already known for its taste in furniture, trendy Italian manufacturer Kartell is turning to t-shirts with its new Design Speaking collection.

Printed on classic white t-shirts and featuring six different designs, the line boasts cartoon versions of the company’s iconic furniture paired with thought bubbles referencing the pieces. Designs include Philippe Stark’s Louis Ghost, Gnome, and Mr. Impossible and Ron Arad’s Bookworm.

The shirts retail for $32 at Kartell flagship stores—significantly cheaper than an actual Stark chair.
