Foliage Sofa
By Patricia Urquiola
The dialogue between the natural and the artificial is a dominant theme in Patricia Urquiola’s work and aesthetics. It is particularly visible in the Foliage collection, a family of soft chairs created especially for residential use. The key players are a two-seater sofa and an armchair, that seem to have grown “naturally”: the painted metal frame provides support for a comfortable seat reminiscent of the crown of a tree, with top-stitched leaves. The covers are available in cloth or Trevira fabrics in a variety of shades that can be combined in original ways with the white, black of red legs.
