Born in Oviedo, Spain, Patricia Urquiola is a multitalented architect and designer. Urquiola studied both in Madrid and in Milan, graduating with Achille Castiglioni and later working with him as an assistant lecturer. Whether she is designing a luxury hotel on Lake Como Italy, or re-imagining Scandinavian Modern furniture, she brings a unique and welcome sense of style, comfort, color and yes fun, to her works. In terms of design, you want to sit in her chairs and turn on the lamp because this is not design that shouts ‘look at me’ as does much architect-designed furniture. Urquiola creates objects that are thoughtfully designed, using materials and colors that are familiar but presented in new interpretations. Based in Milan, since 2015, she has worked as head of design for Cassina and continues to produce both buildings and furniture with wide appeal.
