Kartell Relaunches its Cologne Flagship Store for Design Season Cologne
An established Cologne design destination enters a new chapter: for the first Design Season Cologne, Kartell will relaunch its Flagship Store on Hahnenstraße with a newly designed look.
The relaunch becomes part of the festival programme from October 26–31, bringing new energy to a location that has been part of Cologne’s international design landscape for many years.
Since 1949, Kartell has helped shape international design through its combination of industrial innovation, material research and collaborations with some of the most influential designers of their generations. Names including Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola, Antonio Citterio, Ferruccio Laviani, Piero Lissoni and Ron Arad represent a design culture that has continuously explored new possibilities in materials, technology and industrial production.
During Design Season Cologne, a new chapter begins for the Cologne flagship. Visitors will be among the first to experience the redesigned store and Kartell’s current collection in its new setting.
The relaunch is also part of a wider movement taking place across Cologne: new design destinations are emerging, established locations are evolving, and international brands are once again making visible investments in their presence across the city.
Design Season Cologne brings these developments together and makes this new momentum visible across Cologne.
