The Kartell Trullo Container by Fabio Novembre

Somewhat reminiscent of the imaginative circus tents of our childhood, the enchanting Kartell Trullo containers by Fabio Novembre are a sight to behold. The Italian architect, born in 1966, drew inspiration for the unique design of these crystal-clear, multifaceted jewelry boxes from the nearby village of Alberobello, where charming houses are neatly lined up like a settlement of magical white pointed hats, built only for the fleeting duration of a human life, revealing the secret of their existence with a pull at their decorative peak.

Symbols of transience, precious boxes that remind us to enjoy the day, following the famous exhortation "Carpe Diem!" by the Roman poet Horace – to look through the colorful glass, no matter how fragile the house of life may be: this is roughly what Fabio Novembre had in mind with his designs for the beautiful Kartell Trullo containers.
