Spanish artist and designer Patricia Urquiola was born in Oviedo and now lives and works in Milan. She attended the School of Architecture of Madrid Polytechnic and Milan Politechnic where she graduated in 1989 with Achille Castiglioni. In 2001 Patricia Urquiola opened her own office in Milan, working on product design, architecture, installations and concept creation. Her work has won several international design awards.
The Revolving Room installation celebrates Kvadrat’s first textile collection with Urquiola and presents her new and existing products for Moroso, upholstered in the new fabrics and featured on the Philips luminous textile panels throughout the room.
As visitors enter the showroom, Philips luminous textile with Kvadrat Soft Cells, illuminate the entrance of the installation. Inside the space, a series of three-sided fabric panels slowly revolve creating a dynamic, abstract and vibrant environment that constantly changes as the panels rotate.
Patricia Urquiola comments, ‘The Revolving Room is based around constant cycles. Hypnotically circular and repetitious rhythm is emphasised by the oversized embroidered fabrics’.
Installing Patricia Urquiola for Kvadrat and Moroso was awarded best project of Milan Design Week 2013. The Revolving Room ‘, created in the Moroso showroom in Via Pontaccio 8/10, was selected by the Scientific Committee of the Milan Design Award – the first and only prize for best composition presented by international design brands during Milan Design Week – and awarded best project of the 2013 Edition. The name carries the essence of the project: sequences of panels that move within a dynamic and engaging environment, revealing the new collection designed for Kvadrat.
