I can't begin to say enough great things about Kartell New York. If I lived there, this would be my go to place. My experience with Tolga Sismanlar surpassed all my customer service expectations.

He empitomizes the meaning of customer service and he obviously loves the work he does and the products Kartell manufactures. I would not hesitate to purchase anything from Kartell--especially if Tolga is selling it! He is definitely an asset to...

A year later we returned to the showroom by chance and met flora Antelmi - her energy was incredible and her passion for Kartell was impressive - she opened our eyes to possibilities and was so inspiring that we ended up buying two couches, 3 Lounge chairs, and a dining table with chairs - flora is a true professional who understands customer service - thank you flora!
