The first object designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Kartell, the Panier is distinguished by its simple yet evocative form. The shiny, transparent bars emanating from a central circle recall the rays of the sun, particularly when placed in the light. Its structure consists of four modules which attach by means of a tongue-and-groove and secured with a discreet joint. Made entirely of polycarbonate, the Panier is suitable for indoor or outdoor use and functions as both a container for magazines and supplies or even as a small end table. Perfect for the pool deck, living room or bedroom, the Panier is a useful and playful addition to the home.
