Kartell 'Componibili Bio 5970'—A 3-Tier Module Reimagining the Circular Storage Icon with Bio-Based Materials

'Storage Expression' Transformed by a Small Cylinder

Kartell's Componibili has established the archetype of storage through its circular silhouette and sliding door structure alone. Componibili Bio 5970 is a version that maintains that form without major changes while converting the material to 'bio-based.' Its 3-tier fixed configuration, 32cm in diameter and 58cm in height, reads as a size that fits naturally into daily circulation patterns such as bedside tables, auxiliary storage, and bathroom organization.

The Next Move by the Brand That Made Plastic a 'Furniture Language'

Kartell has built its brand identity by expanding the possibilities of plastic into furniture and lifestyle objects since the late 20th century. Recently, under the industrial declaration 'Kartell loves the planet,' it has clearly established a direction of incorporating recycled and bio-based materials into its product line. In this context, Bio Componibili is interpreted as a case of applying eco-friendly material experimentation to a highly symbolic lineup. Detailed product information can be found at the product purchase page.

Changing Material While Preserving the Logic of the Original

Componibili is powerful because it has distilled the logic of storage, opening and closing, and stacking within the simple exterior of a 'cylinder.' With the Bio version, Kartell maintains this logic while using bio-based materials derived from agricultural byproducts and bringing sustainability standards to the forefront by referencing TÜV certification (4-star). It also re-invokes the 1972 MoMA context, demonstrating that an icon can be renewed in the 'present tense.'

Form, Structure, Feel: Details of 'Storage You Reach For'

The circular cutout on the door makes the usage motion intuitive without requiring a separate handle. The sliding motion along the rail groove reduces the full-front clearance that swing doors create, offering significant advantages in tight environments like small rooms and bathrooms. The soft-touch matte texture of the Bio model mitigates the 'cold materiality' that glossy plastic conveys, and in pastel tones, it reads more like a lifestyle object than furniture.

Installation Examples

With a green color selection delivered by December 3, 2025, the method of placing it close to the wall, like a bedroom bedside table, is especially natural. Storage is hidden from view, while the cylinder's color leaves an accent point in the space, simultaneously solving 'organization and decoration.' First impressions after installation emphasize "softer touch than expected" and "door opening and closing is simple."

What Spaces Does It Suit

Componibili Bio 5970 fits well with lifestyles that don't 'bring in large furniture.' It achieves high completeness when used as auxiliary storage in spaces with distributed functions like bedside, beside a sofa, entryway, and bathroom. For white and wood-tone interiors, pastel colors provide rhythm, and in colorful spaces, the matte surface ensures it doesn't stand out excessively. If you're seeking an option that maintains the icon's form while updating its material and tactile quality, this model is the most straightforward answer.
