The Optic container with door by Kartell is a genuine designer object, an article that immediately catches your eye and that can act as a genuine leading role in any layout. Optic is essentially a cube, a geometric figure with small door at front where you can place objects of any kind. In addition to its particular geometry, the Optic Container is an article full of intriguing features such as the particular optical effect that it gives off. As a matter of fact, the refined processing of its surfaces creates a play on reflections that affect not only the aesthetics of the object but also the entire atmosphere of the room. If you’re looking to add an eye-catching designer space in your home, a very tempting idea could be to pair up multiple Optic containers, as these "cubes", are all in the same dimensions and are distinguished only by colour, creating decorative solutions that are both bold and strong, all the more suitable for those into contemporary styles. The possibilities, from this point of view, are endless: different patterns of Optic containers can be placed side by side, on top of each other, or near each other. Versatility is a major strength of the Optic Container: this designer piece can be put on display just about anywhere, from the living room to the bedroom, not to mention offices, shops and other business settings. While the stylistic essence of Optic is very modern, this designer piece should not be limited to contemporary layouts only. Its simplicity and elegance actually make it perfect even for formal settings. Also suitable for outdoor environments. Also suitable for outdoor environments.
