Patricia Urquiola

I believe that ideals do not exist in real life, but in the imagination and concept of each person; once the ideal comes true, then new ideals will be created.

Patricia Urquiola is a Spanish designer active in the international design community. Since the establishment of the studio in 2001, he has been engaged in professional activities in areas such as interior design, product design, exhibitions, art direction and architecture.

Born in Oviedo, Spain, Patricia Urquiola graduated from the Department of Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Madrid in 1989. After graduation, he worked in Padova's new product development department and served as an assistant to Achille Castiglioni and Eugenio Bettinelli at Milan Polytechnic and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Design in Paris. Between 1993 and 1996, she concentrated on architectural work, working with architects Renzio and Ramerino to complete showrooms, restaurants and other franchise design projects.

In 1996, Patricia Urquiola entered the famous Italian design office "Lissoni Associati", responsible for the product design of international home brands such as Alessi, Flos, Cappellini, Cassina, Kartell, etc., and thus let the world slowly see that she is different from her. A delicate observation by a male designer. 

Patricia Urquiola often said that her personality is changeable and informal. However, she is influenced by Achille Castiglioni by letting her begin to see the subtlety and the surrounding nature and life. She brings the delicate and sensitive qualities of women into the design, and extends a unique design perspective – “film thinking”.
