At 8pm on a Friday winter evening, Claudio Luti would usually be on his way to St Moritz; week days are for working hard, but weekends are spent out of the city – skiing in the mountains from Christmas to Easter, and by the sea in Portofino during summer. But Luti, owner of the Italian company Kartell, which is known for its brightly coloured acrylic furniture, hasn’t yet left his office. Last October, he took over as the president of Cosmit, the company that runs the Salone Internazionale del Mobile – Milan’s furniture fair that takes place every April.
以往冬天每到週五晚8點時,克勞迪奧•魯提(Claudio Luti)就會去聖莫里茲(St Moritz)度假;他平時發奮工作,到了週末則出城度假——從耶誕節至復活節(Easter)去山裏滑雪,夏季則去波託非諾(Portofino)海邊度假。但義大利卡特爾公司(Kartell)老闆魯提如今依然在自己的辦公室加班,因爲去年10月,他又接任了米蘭國際傢俱展公司(Cosmit)主席——米蘭傢俱展(Salone Internazionale del Mobile)每年四月舉行。卡特爾公司以生產亞克力材質傢俱著稱於世。
