TEXTURE

The AALAND collection, designed by Patricia Urquiola, is enriched with a new curved version that amplifies its fluid and welcoming nature. Inspired by the morphology of archipelagos, AALAND now introduces sinuous elements that allow for softer, more enveloping configurations, fostering an even more dynamic and relational dimension of space. This evolution expands design possibilities while keeping the system's flexibility intact: each element can be freely reconfigured, creating domestic landscapes in constant transformation. The LEPID collection is born as a balance between sign and matter, between design rigor and expressive freedom. The system—comprising bookcases, shelves, sideboards, and consoles—turns the profile into the true protagonist of the project, making it the graphic element that traverses and defines the entire composition. Precisely calibrated lines that meet and overlap, along with balanced solids and voids, build a light rhythm in the space, while the contrasting edge becomes a continuous mark that evokes the spontaneity of a hand-drawn stroke. Made with recycled wood fiber panels painted in ivory, burgundy, and mustard, it allows for sharp contrasts between surfaces and profiles, transforming a constructive detail into a distinctive feature. The wood comes from FSC-certified forests, while the interlocking rail assembly system ensures structural solidity and ease of mounting. Kartell’s tableware line is enriched with a new collection by Patricia Urquiola that stems from a precise, almost artisanal gesture, reinterpreted through technology and material research. CESEL takes its name from cesellatura (chiseling), a decorative technique that works the surface with light, rhythmic incisions, transforming matter into a narrative of light and detail. From this inspiration comes a complete service—including glasses (water, wine, cocktail, flute), a carafe, and a tray—made of transparent recycled material suitable for food contact, where the surface is never neutral but vibrant, dynamic, and alive. The result is a subtle balance between industry and craftsmanship, between technical precision and controlled imperfection. Each glass becomes a small architectural object, designed to dialogue with the table and the space. The chiseled surfaces create a play of reflections that change according to the light and the content, making every use unique. The new rug collection designed by Patricia Urquiola is born from a free, immediate, and almost instinctive gesture: the brushstroke. PINCEL, from the Spanish word for brush, translates a fluid and continuous mark onto the textile surface, as if drawn by hand. The lines traverse the rug naturally—never rigid, never perfectly defined, but alive, light, and capable of suggesting movement and depth. The rug thus becomes a pictorial surface where color is distributed dynamically and organically, creating visual vibrations that change according to light and perspective. It is not a decorative pattern in the traditional sense, but a mark that tells of a gesture: direct, spontaneous, and expressive. Available in various sizes, PINCEL adapts naturally to different contexts, always maintaining the strength of the stroke and its ability to define the space.
