Abstract
Patricia Urquiola (Oviedo, Asturias, Spain, 1961) has focused her career on furniture design in Italy, working with some of the legends of the Italian design world, including Achille Castiglioni and Vico Magistretti. Both architect and designer, she has combined her work for the furniture industry with other interests. As an interior designer, she has created public and domestic living spaces using with her own furniture designs. After living the firm De Padova (Milan, Italy) in the nighties, Urquiola designed an incredible amount of furniture, paying special attention to the seats. Chairs, armchairs, sofas, stools, chaise longues and poufs occupy Urquiola’s universe, where she has demonstrated her talent and her creative force linked to her contemporary and renewed look at the classic and modern furniture. This article shows some of her more interesting reinterpretations.
