Patricia Urquiola: expressive contemporary design for Kartell

Patricia Urquiola explores colour, texture and material through designs that balance functionality with a strong visual character. Her work for Kartell moves easily between furniture and smaller objects for the home, creating connections between living spaces and the dining table. From designer coffee tables and lounge seating to contemporary tableware, her collections demonstrate how everyday objects can become expressive components of the interior while retaining practical functions.

T-Table: a sculptural Kartell side table in polycarbonate

The T-Table side table in polycarbonate transforms a compact occasional table through a richly worked surface and transparent material. Suitable beside sofas, armchairs or beds, it provides a practical surface without adding excessive visual weight to the room. Its decorative character makes it a distinctive example of a transparent designer table, combining the versatility expected from Kartell low tables with Patricia Urquiola’s attention to texture and pattern.

Lunam: soft seating for contemporary living rooms

The Lunam armchair in Orsetto fabric with black structure introduces a softer and more enveloping interpretation of Kartell seating. Its upholstered form creates a comfortable focal point for living rooms and lounge areas, while the contrasting structure defines its contemporary silhouette. Within the wider selection of Kartell chairs and seatings, sofas, poufs and cushions, Lunam demonstrates Patricia Urquiola’s ability to combine tactile materials, generous forms and modern proportions.

Trama and Kartell tableware by Patricia Urquiola

The Trama underplate in melamine Ø 32 cm. brings texture and visual rhythm to the dining table, offering a decorative foundation for contemporary place settings. Patricia Urquiola’s approach extends across Kartell plates, bowls, glasses and other tableware, allowing different elements to be combined into coordinated yet dynamic compositions. Plates and bowls can be paired with drinkware, cups and serving pieces to create table settings suitable for both everyday dining and more elaborate occasions.
