K-waiting Kartell

K-Waiting – Kartell

K-Waiting from Kartell is a modular furniture series designed by Rodolfo Dordoni. The series consists of upholstered seating with a clear geometric design language where straight lines meet softly rounded volumes. It is developed for both private and public environments and is based on modules that can be used individually or combined into larger seating arrangements.

Modular system

The series includes armchairs, middle modules, corner pieces and open ends, making it possible to create seating solutions in various directions and scales. The modules are designed to work together without losing their cohesive expression, where generous proportions and a low profile create a strong visual identity while maintaining comfort for extended seating in both social and professional environments.

Materials and construction

K-Waiting has a steel frame combined with polyurethane foam padding, providing stability and consistent seating comfort even under frequent use. The series is designed for environments with high demands on durability and functionality.

Upholstery is available in several options, where polyester and viscose fabrics provide a smooth and durable surface, while bouclé adds a more textured and softer character. The material choices influence both the visual expression and the tactile experience.

The wide seats and integrated armrests and backrests create a unified form where each module is clearly defined yet part of a larger system. The combination of soft volumes and strict construction is central to the series’ expression.
